Regular oil and filter changes are crucial for your car’s optimal performance. Clogged air filters can lead to poor fuel economy and dirty oil leaves deposits and sludge in hoses and engine parts.
The industry recommends regular oil, lube, and filter checkups every 5000km but this can also depend on the type of driving that you do. If you do a lot of city driving, or a lot of stopping and starting, chances are you will need more frequent oil changes.
We can help you determine how often your vehicle requires an oil change service, helping to maintain the health of your engine and engine parts. Our typical oil, lube, and filter service includes:
- Drain and replace motor oil
- We replace the oil filter with every oil change and check the air filter to see if it requires changing.
- Lubricate oil system and fittings (older cars or replaced parts)
- Check all fluid levels
- Check for engine leakage
- Check for loose or worn belts
- Check for leaks or wear and tear in hoses
- Visual check of a full undercarriage of your vehicle
