Oil Changes, Lube, and Filter

Changing your vehicle’s oil and replacing its filter is a crucial aspect of preventative maintenance that not only boosts your vehicle’s performance but also prolongs its lifespan. The oil in your engine plays a vital role in lubrication, easing the interaction between various engine components and reducing friction. Additionally, the engine generates considerable heat, which the oil helps dissipate as it circulates. During operation, the oil captures harmful particles produced in the combustion process. These particles are then removed by the oil filter, ensuring that only clean, unobstructed oil flows through the engine. This process is essential for maintaining the engine’s peak performance. In an oil change service, we replace the old engine oil with fresh oil and install a new oil filter. We also lubricate the chassis as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. At the end of this service, your engine will have clean oil, and all its moving parts will be properly lubricated.

Benefits of Oil, Lube, & Filter Change

As oil ages, it becomes contaminated, leaving residue in the engine which can form deposits and cause wear. Contaminated oil loses its effectiveness as a lubricant, potentially leading to engine strain, excessive heat, and eventual failure. Heat can also cause the oil to break down, altering its viscosity and reducing its flow. Moreover, impure oil moves more sluggishly, forcing the engine to exert more effort and accelerating wear. During each oil change, our team inspects and replaces the oil filter to maintain oil purity. Regular lube and oil changes are essential for your engine’s long-term health and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is regular oil and filter change important for my vehicle?

Regular oil changes are crucial as they ensure your engine is lubricated and running smoothly. Oil reduces friction and removes heat and contaminants from your engine. Replacing the oil filter is equally important to keep the oil clean and free-flowing, preventing engine damage.

2. How often should I get an oil and filter change for my vehicle?

The frequency of oil and filter changes can vary based on your vehicle model, type of oil used, and your driving habits. It’s typically recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific guidelines.

3. What happens if I don't change my vehicle's oil and filter regularly?

Neglecting regular oil changes can lead to oil becoming contaminated with debris, which causes increased engine wear and tear. This can lead to overheating, decreased efficiency, and potentially severe engine damage over time.

4. What is done during an oil and filter change service?

During this service, the old engine oil is drained out and replaced with fresh oil. The oil filter is also replaced to ensure the new oil remains uncontaminated. Additionally, the chassis is lubricated according to the manufacturer’s standards.

5. Can changing my vehicle’s oil and filter improve its performance?

Yes, regular oil and filter changes help maintain engine efficiency, improve performance, and can extend the lifespan of your vehicle. Clean oil ensures smoother operation and better engine protection.
