Why is regular maintenance important?
Oil is what keeps your vehicle properly lubricated, and it's crucial in making sure that your engine runs as efficiently as possible. If you aren't regularly changing your vehicle's oil, you run the risk of getting stuck with major repairs. Oil helps keep your car cool and prevents corrosion, so if you don't take care of it now, you could be looking at a hefty repair bill later.
When should you get your oil changed? We recommend every 3,000 to 5,000 miles — but check your owner's manual for specific instructions on how often you should get it changed. If you're not sure when you last got your oil changed or whether you're due for a change soon, feel free to schedule an appointment with us and we'll let you know if it's time!
How do I know if my oil needs changing?
Is your engine sluggish? Does it make unusual sounds when you first start it? No matter what model car you have, these are signs your oil needs changing. Another obvious sign is when the oil change light comes on in your dashboard. You'll want to get your vehicle inspected right away. One way to check your vehicle's oil level yourself is to check the dipstick underneath the hood — if the oil doesn't meet a certain line or looks dark or dirty, it's time to change your oil.
