Oil Service near Apex NC

Time for an Oil Change

While the oil change schedule will vary from car to car, it’s generally a good idea to get your oil changed around every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Though, most cars now come equipped with an oil life sensor that will warn you when it’s time to get your car’s oil changed so you don’t have to guess.

If you aren’t sure when your car last had its oil changed, you can pop the hood and check the condition and get an estimate. Using a dip stick, you can check and see how much oil is in the reservoir and see what kind of condition the oil is in.

When it’s time for an oil change, you can bring your car into our service center and have one of our team members take care of you. We can complete your oil change in about a half hour. Our technician will drain the old oil, replace the dirty oil filter, and refill the system with fresh oil. Then, you’ll be ready to ride.

Do I Really Need Oil Changes?

Driving with low or bad oil for extended periods of time can lead to engine issues later down the line. The oil keeps all moving parts lubricated and helps prevent the engine from overheating. So, skipping an oil change or ignoring an oil leak can potentially damage the engine, which will mean you’ll need serious repairs.

Oil changes and leak repairs are typically very simple maintenance items that our experts can handle with ease. So, schedule your oil service and trust us to take good care of your car.
