An engine’s life depends on oil. Besides reducing friction and wearing, it lubricates metal engine parts, forms a seal between the piston rings and cylinder walls, and helps cool them.
The most simple, effective, and cost-effective means of protecting your engine is to change the oil and the filter regularly.
Engine oil and filter change services mean a complete drain and refilling of engine oil and fitting a brand-new oil filter in your vehicle. Engine oil lubricates the parts of your vehicle’s engine and helps them to work efficiently during combustion.
Without changing engine oil timely, your car wouldn’t keep moving as metal parts would rub together, causing irreversible damage to the engine.
As part of an oil and filter change service, the plug needs to be removed to drain the oil. All of the lines and components are flushed and cleaned, a new oil filter is added and then new, fresh oil is put back into the vehicle. Once the oil has been refilled to the correct level, the engine can be started to run normally.

Oil changes are recommended by many vehicle manufacturers every 3,000 miles. However, many vehicle manufacturers recommend longer oil change intervals as oil technology and chemistry advance.
It is possible that you only require an oil change every 7,500 miles or even 10,000 miles, depending on your car. To be sure, check your owner’s manual for scheduled interval maintenance or call our shop and we can assist.
