Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
It depends on your vehicle and the type of oil you use. Conventional oil typically needs changing every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, while synthetic oil lasts up to 10,000 miles. Check your owner’s manual or consult our experts for specific recommendations.
Delaying oil changes can cause engine oil to become dirty and lose its ability to lubricate properly. This can lead to increased wear, overheating, and even engine failure.
If your vehicle is experiencing performance issues, such as poor braking, overheating, or stiff steering, it may be time for a fluid flush. Our team can inspect your fluids and recommend the right service.
This depends on the manufacturer’s recommendations and your driving habits. We’ll help you choose between conventional, synthetic, or high-mileage oil to suit your car’s needs.
