Over time, engine oil breaks down and becomes less effective at lubricating moving parts. During an oil change, our technicians drain the old oil, replace the oil filter, and refill the engine with fresh, high-quality oil. This simple yet essential service helps prolong the life of your engine, improve fuel efficiency, and prevent costly repairs down the road.
Synthetic oil is used in newer cars, which offers better protection overall. If your vehicle is older, conventional oil may be used.

There are a few signs to look out for that indicate it's time for an oil change.
Strange engine noises: Some sounds, such as your car's engine revving when you reach certain speeds, are nothing to be concerned about. However, if you hear consistent engine grinding or skipping noises, it could mean an oil change is needed.
Check engine light: Dashboard warning lights like the check engine light are clear indicators that service is needed
Thick smoke: It's common for your car to emit clear tailpipe emissions, especially when the weather is cold. That being said, it should not emit thick blue or black smoke. If you see this, it might mean you're low on engine oil.
Engine overheating: If the engine overheats, it's time for an oil change. If you notice this while driving, stop immediately, let your car cool down, and bring it to our service center. It is dangerous to drive an overheated vehicle, so your best bet may be to have it towed unless you're nearby.
Leaking fluid: Your car can experience several different types of fluid leaks throughout its life, oil being one of them. The best way to tell if it's engine oil is if it's coming from where the engine sits. Take a dry substance and blot up the fluid. If it's a yellow-brown or brown-black color, it's engine oil.
Now that you know about signs indicating an oil change is needed, you'll be better positioned to have it done on time. The best way to keep up with regular oil changes is to consult your owner's manual, which will have the exact mileage intervals at which an oil change is needed.
