How often should I get an oil change?

This question will vary depending on what type of car you have and what engine oil it uses. You can find the manufacturer's in Quincy MA recommendation in your owner's manual. This will help you determine how often your oil should be changed. However, it is a good idea to change your oil every 5,000 miles. This is roughly equivalent to about every six months for many drivers. Synthetic engine oil may allow you to change your oil less often.

Why do I need an oil change?

Your engine oil is what lubricates it so that the moving parts of your vehicle don't get scratched. Oil can become less effective as a lubricant over time. Oil can also be contaminated by dirt and debris. You may notice that the oil is not completely covered with oil every time your car turns on its engine. This exposes them to more friction. This can lead to engine parts becoming more worn over time and contaminating oil.

You can prevent these problems by changing the oil regularly, replacing the filter and adding new oil. If you don't know how, you can always contact professional mechanics from Quincy MA like Meineke.

What is involved in an oil change?

One of our experienced service technicians will drain your engine oil when you visit Meineke Quincy MA for an oil change. To drain the old engine oil, place a container under it. After the oil has been drained, our technician will inspect your oil filter and replace it if needed. This is an essential part of an oil change. An old oil filter cannot filter out debris from the oil as it flows around the engine. Your engine oil will last longer with a new oil filter.
