Frequently Asked Questions About Oil Changes

Find answers to common questions about oil changes and maintenance to help keep your vehicle running smoothly.

  • How often should I change my oil?

    The frequency depends on your vehicle, driving conditions, and oil type. Modern cars typically need changes every 5,000-7,500 miles with synthetic oil, while older vehicles or those using conventional oil may need more frequent changes. We'll help you determine the best interval for your specific vehicle.

  • What happens if I skip oil changes?

    Skipping oil changes can lead to engine damage, reduced performance, and potentially complete engine failure. Regular oil changes are much less expensive than engine repairs or replacement.

  • Which type of oil is best for my car?

    The best oil choice depends on your vehicle's make, model, age, and driving conditions. Our technicians will recommend the optimal oil type based on your manufacturer's specifications and driving habits.
