Oil Change

Engine Oil

Engine oil is what lubricates a car’s engine, allowing it to run smoothly and last longer. Car owners must maintain a car’s engine by changing the oil and using the oil appropriate for their cars make and model. Every car comes with a “check oil” light and an oil filter under the hood. These components allow car owners to monitor their oil levels and add oil as needed without having to hire a mechanic.

Changing the Oil

A significant part of routine car maintenance is changing the oil regularly. The necessary frequency of oil changes has become a point of contention among experts. The Engine Oil Bible maintains that engine oil can’t be changed often enough. Checking the oil between oil change services is highly recommended no matter the age of the vehicle. They can start to lose or leak oil at anytime without any noticeable signs. If you must add oil or the oil light comes on, even for a short period of time, please bring it in to have a mechanic look at it. We see more and more vehicles coming in with little or no oil in them.
