Oil Service
Usually, with an oil service, we will also inspect the gearbox for a fluid change or just a top-up of oil. Depending on the age of the vehicle. For a thorough diagnosis let one of our trained mechanics assess your vehicle and give you the right advice the first time.
Tips for changing your car’s oil
- Change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or as recommended in your car’s owner’s manual.
- Warm up the engine for a few minutes before draining the oil. Warm oil flows more easily and helps flush out contaminants.
- Make sure the oil is at operating temperature when you check the oil level. This will give you a more accurate reading.
- Use a high-quality oil filter to ensure maximum protection for your engine.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not using the correct type of oil for your car’s make and model.
- Not tightening the oil filter or drain plug enough, can cause leaks.
- Overfilling the engine with too much oil.
- Forgetting to check the oil level after adding new oil.
When to change your car’s oil
The frequency of oil changes can vary depending on your car’s make and model, as well as your driving habits. Check your car’s owner’s manual for specific recommendations, but generally, you should change your oil every 5 000 to
8 000 Kilometres or every six months, whichever comes first.
