Oil Change Services
What Is Included in a Full-Service Oil Change? When you get a full-service change, an auto technician will change your car’s motor oil with the type that it needs, which could be conventional, synthetic, synthetic blend, or high-mileage oil. You’ll also have your used oil and oil filter replaced and recycled.
Start the engine of your car and let it run for a couple of minutes. Often make it a point to run your engine for a few minutes after any oil change. This is to allow the new oil to circulate in the engine, including the oil filter and the logs. It’s also a perfect opportunity for you to search for any leaks.
Oil helps protect your engine in four important ways:
- Oil cleans the engine: Motor oils are designed to keep dirt, debris, and deposits from accumulating on your engine components and prevent blockages. The oil “locks up” the dirt and renders it harmless until it is removed at your next oil change service.
- Oil reduces friction and minimizes wear: Motor oils form a protective film over your engine components and have special additives that prevent contact and reduce drag between the engine’s many moving parts. This helps your engine operate quietly and efficiently.
- Oil removes heat: Motor oils carry heat away from important areas, like from around the piston rings, and redistribute it around the engine.
- Oil prevents corrosion and rust: Motor oils help protect your hard-working engine components from corrosion beyond the normal oil change interval.
While simple, motor oil is one of the most essential components of your car. Without oil to lubricate and cool things down, your engine would run for a few seconds and then seize. Yikes! If the wrong kind is used or there’s not enough of it, the engine is at significant risk of increased wear and corrosion.
