An oil change is a pretty standard service that most people often put off for as long as possible. Well, they might not be wrong. Most modern cars can now go longer between service intervals than scheduling an oil change every 3 months / 3,000 miles.
Check your owner’s manual for your auto manufacturer’s suggestions regarding routine maintenance, such as oil changes. However, it is important to remember that auto manufacturers base their recommendations on ideal driving conditions, which do not include extreme weather, stop-and-go traffic, or driving for long distances.
At D’Avico’s Auto Repair, we give you much more than just an oil change. Our experienced and knowledgeable technicians inspect your vehicle’s oil for signs that something else might be wrong. This attention to detail is often lacking at the quick-lube chain service shops.
Some people ask us why they need to change their oil. Your motor oil (or engine oil) protects and cleans your engine. It prevents metal-to-metal contact, which, if allowed, could lead to mechanical damage. It also provides lubricating properties and disperses heat.
Your oil filter, in turn, collects all the harmful contaminants from the oil that circulates through your engine. When your oil filter becomes saturated with debris, it is time to get an oil change because the oil and filter can no longer perform their respective jobs.
If you answer yes to any of the following questions, it is most likely time to change your oil.
