Determining Your Vehicle's Needs
Choosing the right oil change schedule depends on several factors. Your car's make, model, and age all play a big role. Newer cars often need oil changes less frequently than older ones.
Your driving habits also matter. Short trips and stop-and-go traffic can lead to more frequent oil changes. Extreme temperatures and towing heavy loads may require more frequent service too.
We check your owner's manual and use diagnostic tools to assess your car's needs. This helps us recommend the best oil change interval for your vehicle. We also perform a 120-point inspection during each oil change to catch any potential issues early.

What Our Customers Say About Us
Best Practices for Oil Change Maintenance
Regular oil changes are vital for keeping your car running smoothly. Proper maintenance helps extend engine life and improve performance.
Frequency of Oil Changes
Most cars need oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. But this can vary based on your vehicle and driving habits. Check your owner's manual for the recommended interval.
Newer cars may go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between changes. Some use synthetic oil that lasts longer. Our oil change experts at our shop will provide you with guidance on the frequency of your particular make and model.
Factors that may require more frequent changes:
- Frequent short trips
- Extreme temperatures
- Dusty conditions
- Towing heavy loads
Don't wait too long between oil changes. Old oil can damage your engine over time.
Checking Oil Levels Between Services
It's smart to check your oil level every few weeks. This helps catch leaks or consumption issues early.
To check the oil:
- Park on level ground
- Wait for the engine to cool
- Locate and remove the dipstick
- Wipe it clean, reinsert, then check the level
The oil should be between the two marks on the dipstick. If it's low, add the right type of oil for your car. Don't overfill.
Look at the oil's color too. Clean oil is amber. Dark or gritty oil may mean it's time for a change.
