Oil Changes

An oil change is one of the most important maintenance services to ensure that your vehicle is fuel-efficient and performing optimally. The oil in your car lubricates the engine and reduces heat and friction so that the parts can run smoothly. Over time the oil gets contaminated by debris that can damage the engine.

 

Oil changes are performed every 10,000 miles, except for vehicles using non-synthetic oil, which are performed every 5,000 miles. You must adhere to the factory-recommended oil changes for optimal engine performance.
