Why Oil Change Service is Important
Your engine’s life depends upon regular oil changes. If you don’t take care of it regularly, it can get incredibly expensive. Moreover, an oil change can help your engine perform at its best to keep your car running smoothly for the long haul.
When You Should Get an Oil Change
It makes sense to get your car’s oil changed every 5,00-7,000 miles driven. If it’s been a while since your last oil change, you can check the dipstick to see if it’s time for an oil change – if it’s dirty or low, it’s best to get an oil change.
The Oil Change Process
The oil change process is relatively simple. Below are the steps that your service technician takes when performing one.
1. Raise the Vehicle
Your service technician will use a lift to get under the car to drain its oil.
2.Drain the Old Oil
After the oil plug is removed, the old oil can be drained.
3.Replace the Oil Filter
A new oil filter is sometimes necessary before replacing the oil
4.Add New Oil
Different vehicles sometimes require different amounts of oil.
Cost of an Oil Change
Depending on which type of oil you need, oil change costs can vary. Generally it costs between $25-$125. Full-synthetic oil is more expensive but required for some vehicles.
Questions to Ask Your Service Technician
Talk to your service technician about the type of oil going into your vehicle. Knowing this can help you understand the cost of your oil change. If you remember, be sure to let your service technician know how long it’s been since your last oil change – if it’s been a while, your service technician may need to address more than just an oil change.
Signs of a Quality Oil Change
You can check the dipstick after your oil change. The oil should be not opaque and at the correct level. If all is good, then you had an excellent oil change. If that’s not the case, signs are you had a shoddy oil change.
Caring for Your Vehicle After an Oil Change
Make sure to note the mileage when you had your last oil change. Doing so can take the guesswork out of when you get your oil changed next. If you ever worry about your engine, checking the dipstick is the first step before scheduling service.
