Consistently changing your engine’s oil every 3k-5k miles can significantly reduce the chance of expensive auto repairs or complete engine failure.

What’s Involved in an Oil & FILTER Change Service? 

During an oil and filter change service, a certified technician will drain old motor oil from your vehicle's engine and replace it with fresh oil of the correct viscosity. They will also replace the old filter with a new one to help keep dirt out of the crankcase. Other services may include replacing the air filter if needed and checking other fluids like coolant or power steering fluids so that everything is topped off before you leave. 



Filter Types

Filters are responsible for removing dirt, debris, and other contaminants from the air, liquids, and oil circulating through your car’s engine. Let’s break down the different types of filters available for cars and when you should get them checked:

  • Air Filters: The most common type of car filter is an air filter. It removes dirt particles from the incoming air before it enters the engine’s combustion chamber. A clogged air filter can reduce engine performance and result in higher fuel consumption. To prevent this from happening, experts recommend replacing your air filter every 12 months or 12,000 miles (19,312 km).

  • Oil Filters: Oil filters are used to remove contaminants from the oil that lubricates your engine. Without this filter, dirt particles would build up over time and damage essential components within your engine, such as piston rings and cylinder walls. Oil filters should be replaced at least every six months or 5,000 miles (8,047 km). 

  • Cabin Air Filters: Cabin air filters are designed to remove pollutants like dust, pollen, and other allergens from inside your vehicle's cabin. These filters should be checked periodically and replaced at least once a year in order to ensure optimal performance. 

Benefits of Regular Maintenance

In addition to helping ensure optimal performance from your vehicle, regular maintenance with oil changes and filter replacements will also save you money in the long run. By keeping your engine clean and running efficiently, you can avoid costly repairs down the road due to a dirty or malfunctioning engine.

Regular Oil Changes

Regular oil changes help keep your engine clean and running efficiently. Old oil exposed to dirt and heat can cause your engine to work harder, leading to more wear and tear on the engine and decreased fuel efficiency. Regularly changing your oil and filter can help ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently. Plus, you won't have to worry about clogged filters or other problems caused by dirty oil.

Filter Replacements

In addition to regular oil changes, it is also important to regularly replace your vehicle’s air, fuel, and cabin air filters. Air filters help prevent dust and debris from entering the engine, while fuel filters help keep contaminants out of the fuel system. Cabin air filters help ensure that clean air is circulated throughout your car's or truck's interior. If these filters become clogged or dirty, they can cause various issues, including reduced performance and decreased fuel efficiency.

Types of Oil Changes 

When it comes to choosing the type of oil for your car, it can be overwhelming. Fortunately, our team of highly trained technicians will help you make the best decision for your car based on its make and model. We use only high-quality oils that meet or exceed industry standards to ensure optimal performance from your engine. There are four basic types of oil changes for automobiles:

  • Conventional

  • High-Mileage

  • Synthetic

  • Synthetic Blend

Whether you opt for synthetic blend or full synthetic motor oil, regular oil changes will keep your engine running efficiently without excessive wear and tear. Synthetic blends contain a combination of conventional and synthetic oils; they are designed to provide stronger protection against heat while still being economical enough to use in older vehicles with higher mileage. Full synthetic motor oils offer maximum protection against heat but may be too expensive for some vehicles with low-mileage engines. No matter which type of motor oil you choose, our team can help you find the right one for your car to get maximum value from every oil change service.
