Oil Change Service

Oil changes are one of the easiest maintenance pieces for vehicle owners to have done. Over time, engine oil breaks down, picks up dirt, and loses its effectiveness at lubricating the engine’s moving parts. Regular oil changes help prevent engine wear, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce the risk of overheating. Think of it like a refreshing recharge for your engine – it keeps everything running smoothly, so your car stays reliable and performs at its best for years to come.

Benefits Of An Oil Change

Our technicians know not only the driving benefits of an oil change, but it can also prevent bigger breakdowns in your vehicle that are harder to fix as well. At Lancer Service we want to make sure you keep up on oil changes to keep your vehicle running longer. Some of the top benefits to an oil change are:

  • Improves Engine Performance: Fresh oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, reducing friction and ensuring smoother performance.
  • Increases Engine Lifespan: Regular oil changes help prevent the build-up of dirt and debris in the engine causing the engine to wear out parts faster. By keeping the engine clean, you extend its life and can save money on those expensive repairs.
  • Prevents Overheating: Oil helps dissipate heat away from the engine. When oil gets old it makes it harder to take that heat away and it can cause the engine to overheat. Fresh oil keeps temperatures under control minimizing the chances of your engine parts breaking.
  • Improves Fuel Efficiency: Clean oil reduces friction and allows the engine to run more smoothly, which can improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. With the increased fuel efficiency, you’ll spend less time at the gas station and more time doing the things you want!
  • Reduces Emissions: Fresh oil helps the engine run more efficiently, which can lead to fewer harmful emissions. This is not only better for the environment but can also help your car pass emissions tests.
  • Keeps Engine Clean: Oil helps to remove dirt, sludge, and debris from the engine, preventing the build-up of harmful particles. Regular oil changes ensure that the engine stays clean and functions properly.
  • Enhances Engine Reliability: Keeping up on oil changes, helps keep your engine operating to the best of its ability and is less likely to experience problems, reducing the chances of unexpected breakdowns.
  • Helps Maintain Warranty: Many vehicle warranties require regular maintenance, including oil changes. Keeping up with oil changes ensures you meet those requirements and avoid voiding your warranty.

Common FAQs About Oil Change Service

How often should I change my car’s oil?
For most vehicles, the oil should be changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but it really depends on your driving style and how often you drive in a given year.
What type of oil does Lancer Service use?
We use high-quality synthetic oils to ensure that the standards your car’s manufacturer expects from a quality auto repair shop.
Can I extend the time between oil changes with synthetic oil?
Yes, old-school oil didn’t last nearly as long as synthetic oil. The advancements we’ve made in the last few decades with synthetic oil have gotten us to the point of waiting much longer to change our oil, but it is still vital to do it yearly.
What’s included in an oil change service?
A typical oil change includes draining the old oil, replacing the oil filter, and filling the engine with fresh oil. Some services may also check and top off other fluids, inspect the vehicle’s overall condition, and provide a report of any other maintenance needs.
Why do I need to change the oil filter?
The oil filter helps remove dirt and debris from the oil, keeping the engine clean. Over time, the filter gets clogged, so it needs to be replaced during an oil change to maintain proper engine protection.
Do I really need to change my oil if the car isn’t driven much?
Yes, even if you don’t drive your car much, oil can still break down over time. It’s recommended to change your oil at least once a year, or according to the mileage specified, to ensure the engine remains well-lubricated.
Can an oil change fix engine noise?
While an oil change keeps your engine running smoothly, it may not necessarily fix existing engine noise. If you continue to hear noise after an oil change, it could be a sign of another underlying issue, and it’s best to have your vehicle checked by one of our technicians.
