What Conventional Oil Change Service Does
We remove your engine’s drain plug, oil filter, and all the old oil. We inspect the filter for signs of excessive engine wear, such as metal shavings trapped in the filtering material. We also make sure the drain plug and washer are in good shape. Once we affirm all is well, we remove the old oil and replace it with your choice of conventional oil, semi-synthetic oil, or fully synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is completely manmade and has special compounds designed to reduce friction inside your engine. Semi-synthetic oil is conventional oil with special additives that result in lubricating qualities more similar to full synthetic oil. Conventional oil is the standard oil that is extracted from the ground and refined for use in your car.
Why You Need to Do It
Oil changes are not only extremely simple but they are very efficient as preventive maintenance to keep your vehicle reliable and last a long time. Fresh, clean oil lubricates the moving metal parts inside the engine and reduces friction. That reduces internal operating temperatures, which makes your engine run better and last longer. Heat is the enemy of all metal parts inside your engine. When the oil is too low or has lots its viscosity, your engine’s internal parts cause more friction and heat. That leads to eventual failures and mechanical breakdowns, costly towing fees, and even costlier repair bills.
