The straight scoop about oil changes & your vehicle’s engine

There’s truly a lot of misinformation about the need for oil in a car…especially new cars. You might’ve heard that many of the newer cars simply “don’t need any oil at all.” It’s not true.

Every engine needs oil to run smoothly, cleanly and efficiently. What’s also important is the grade of the oil for your specific vehicle, and the frequency at which it gets checked, filled and replaced. This is a deceptively simple, yet critical piece to keeping your car’s engine happy and running well for a long time.

We see many needed repairs on vehicles each week that could have been prevented or reduced in expense, with better or more regular maintenance and care, including oil inspections and replacements.

Ask us about your engine’s overall health when you come in for your vehicle’s next service.

Hey, why not schedule that service today?
