Motor oil is what keeps your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. If you have owned a car before, you likely already know that oil changes are one of the most essential regular maintenance items that you need to get. Here at our Sansone Auto Group dealerships, we have certified car service centers, all of which perform the standard oil change service.
Here’s what you need to know about standard oil changes.
Why Does My Car Need an Oil Change?
Your car’s engine consists of an array of small moving parts, all of which need to be properly lubricated to run smoothly. Over time, your car’s engine oil gets dirty and less effective, which means that your engine is less efficient and powerful than it should be. Regular oil changes keep the oil in your engine clean and efficient.
How Often Do I Need to Get an Oil Change?
The frequency at which you get oil changes will depend on several different factors, including:
- Your make and model
- The conditions in which you drive
- How often you drive
A general guideline is that your oil should be changed between 3,000-7,000 miles or every 3-6 months. New cars can go longer between services, while used cars need it more frequently. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for more specific guidance.
What Happens During the Oil Change
When you get an oil change at one of our Avenel car dealerships, our mechanics do more than just pour new oil into the engine. They’ll remove the old, dirty oil and replace it with your choice of synthetic oil, synthetic blend, conventional, or high-mileage oil. We’ll also perform a courtesy inspection, top off your fluids, and replace your oil filter.
