What's included in an oil change service?

Drain old oil, install new oil to spec, replace filter, check fluid levels, and perform a multi-point safety inspection.

  • Correct oil grade (viscosity) for your engine is non-negotiable
  • Filter quality affects how long clean oil stays clean
  • Multi-point inspection catches safety issues while you're already in
  • Tire pressure and brake thickness often checked at same visit

Per ASE-standard oil change procedure.

How often should I get an oil change?

Every 3,000-5,000 miles for conventional oil; every 7,500-10,000 miles for full synthetic — follow your owner's manual.

  • Synthetic oil extends intervals significantly
  • Severe duty driving (towing, stop-and-go) shortens intervals
  • Modern vehicles often have oil-life monitors — follow them
  • Skipping intervals causes sludge buildup and accelerated wear

Per manufacturer recommendations and ASE technician guidance.
