The oil needs to be changed in every vehicle at some point. While it may feel like a chore every time, Lauger’s Auto is dedicated to making your oil change service experience as hassle-free as possible.
Why Is Changing Your Car’s Oil Important?
Having fresh oil in your car is one of the most important parts of maintaining your vehicle’s health. Oil is like the bloodstream of your car and runs throughout the entire machine.
Getting an oil change will make your car less prone to corrosion, and prevent the build-up of dirt or rust. This maintenance will ultimately make your car last longer and ride smoother. The newer oil also has a lubricating effect on your car’s internal parts, which allows them to function with less resistance. This results in a car with an improved lifespan. Reduced accidents are also an added benefit.
Rundown of an Oil Change Service
Oil changes are a bit more complex than merely emptying out the old oil and replacing it with new oil.
Your oil filter accumulates contaminants over time and will likely need to be replaced when you go in for an oil change. Additionally, our in-depth oil change services also offer an air filter examination. If needed, we can also replace the air filter for you.
An important part of oil change services also includes an examination of the engine for any oil leaks. We will also check how well lubricated your car’s parts are. The status of your belt, hose and undercarriage will also be examined.
How Often Should You Get an Oil Change?
While every car and driver will likely have different requirements, a good rule of thumb is that you should get an oil change once every 5000 to 7500 miles. This often translates into once every six months.
However, your mileage may vary. The frequency of when you should change your oil will depend on your own driving habits. If you engage in a lot of short distance trips (5 miles or less), drive in stop-and-go traffic often, or drive in colder temperatures a lot, then you may need to get your oil changed more often than another driver.
