Signs You May Need an Oil Change
If you notice any of the following, schedule an oil service:
- Oil light or maintenance reminder is on
- Engine running louder or ticking on startup

- Burnt smell or dark, dirty oil on the dipstick
- Long time since last oil change (especially with short trips or heavy use)
- Reduced fuel economy or sluggish performance (sometimes related to overdue maintenance)
Full-Service Oil & Filter Changes (Done the Right Way)
An oil change is more than draining and filling. Correct oil type and proper procedure matter—especially on modern engines. Our engine oil service may include:
- Drain and refill with the proper oil viscosity and manufacturer-required specification
- Oil filter replacement with a quality filter
- Inspect for leaks (oil pan, drain plug, filter housing, valve cover, and common seep points)
- Check and top off fluids where appropriate (coolant, washer fluid, etc.)
- Reset oil life monitor / maintenance reminder (as equipped)
- Quick under-hood and undercar inspection to catch issues early
Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil: What’s Best?
Many vehicles are designed for full synthetic oil, especially those with turbochargers, direct injection, or variable valve timing systems. Some vehicles can run conventional or a blend depending on specification. The most important thing is using the correct spec for your engine—not just “synthetic” or “conventional.” We’ll recommend the right option based on manufacturer requirements and how you drive.
Oil Leaks, Low Oil, and Engine Protection
Low oil can cause serious engine damage. If your oil level drops between services, we can inspect for oil leaks and discuss potential oil consumption concerns. Catching these early can help prevent timing chain wear, overheating, turbo damage, and other costly failures.

Engine Oil Service FAQs
How long does an oil change take?
Time can vary by vehicle and service needs. Some vehicles require skid plate removal, specialty filters, or additional checks. We’ll confirm the service plan and keep you updated if we find anything that needs attention.
Do you check other items during an oil change?
Yes. We typically perform a basic inspection and check key items like leaks, belts/hoses (as accessible), and fluid levels. If we notice a concern, we’ll explain it clearly and provide next-step recommendations.
Should I follow the oil life monitor or a fixed mileage interval?
Oil life monitors can be helpful, but severe driving (short trips, towing, heavy loads, extreme temperatures, long idling) often requires more frequent service. We can recommend a practical interval of 5,000 miles or 6 months to keep everything lubricated and clean as it should be.
