Home / Oil Change near Me

How Often Does My Car Need an Oil Change?

To find out how often to get your car’s oil changed, it’s best to review your owner’s manual. Some manufacturers state the need at 5,000 miles, while others say 7,500 miles. Other car makers may tell you to get it changed every six months. With our service tech’s recommendations and the owner’s manual, you can come up with a system. 

If your car uses synthetic oil, you may even wait until 10,000 miles, but remember the owner’s manual. Plus, if you go on a trip outside of the Bay Area that involves lots of driving on unforgiving terrain, you may need your oil changed much sooner with all the dust and debris.

Does an Oil Change Take a Long Time?

Does an Oil Change Take a Long Time?

Going for a simple oil change should not take any longer than an hour, especially with our efficient service techs. Since they’re one of the most common services sought, our techs get more than their share to perfect the procedure. Unless you brought your car in for other services, you’ll be in and out in no time.

Why Does My Car Need an Oil Change?

Knowing why your car needs oil in the first place will help you to understand why it needs to be changed. Oil swishes through the moving parts under the hood, so that the engine moves smoothly. The oil starts out transparent and gold, but with some action with your car, it eventually turns black and dirty. 
The darkening occurs due to the collection of debris and matter from the roads where you travel. That dirt will cause the oil to become ineffective and slow down your performance. That’s why fresh oil and a new filter makes a big difference in performance and protecting the integrity of your engine.
To check if you have enough oil, look in your owner’s manual or watch a video online that shows you how. Under the hood, you can pull out the dipstick, which will show you how much oil may be left.

Can I Add Extra Oil to My Car?

Can I Add Extra Oil to My Car?

After learning how to check the oil level, you may be considering adding more oil. While this can be a temporary solution if you’re low, it does not substitute the oil change. When our experienced techs change your oil, they’re refreshing it with brand-new oil. If you add oil to the already existing oil, it’s mixing up to make a slurry rather than a solution.
