What Does Motor Oil Do?
Before we dive into how we can help you service your vehicle, we thought it would first be important to cover what motor oil does for your vehicle and why it is so important.
When oil is inserted into your vehicle, it immediately goes to work within your powertrain. Here, it will cycle, completing two key jobs. First, it will clean the engine of dirt and debris that are not supposed to be there. As it cycles, this dirt and debris will be caught by the oil filter, keeping them out of the engine.
Secondly, as oil completes this cycle, it will heat up and serve as a lubricant. This will help ensure different parts of the engine are able to interact with each other properly.
Completing Routine Oil Changes
Clearly, oil is quite important to your vehicle’s overall ability to run properly. In fact, without oil that is regularly changed, your vehicle’s performance could decline drastically and could even incur major damage, i.e. engine failure.
Accordingly, it is important to change your oil for every 5,000 or so miles you drive.
Signs You Need an Oil Change
What if I don’t know how long it has been since my last oil change, you may be asking? Well, there are signs and symptoms that indicate declining oil performance that you can look out for!
For example, if your vehicle starts to produce visible, black/smokey exhaust as you drive, it usually indicates the need for an oil change. Additionally, vehicle vibration, engine/oil warning lights, and unusual sounds coming from the engine can point to the need for oil service.
Setting Up Oil Service
When the time comes for your oil change, we’ll be ready to help at our service center. Here, we’ll complete the change by following these steps:
- First, we’ll raise the vehicle so we can access the oil pan.
- With access to the pan, we’ll remove the drain plugs so the old oil can drain out.
- Then, we’ll remove the old oil filter.
- From there, we’ll be ready to add a new oil filter, place the drain plugs back in, and add new oil.
- After we check to make sure there are no leaks, the vehicle will be ready to ride again!
This process is quite simple… in most cases we’ll be able to complete your change in under an hour or so. So, hopefully, it will be easy to fit your appointment into your schedule!
