Oil Change near Stoughton MA

 

Engine oil provides your car's hard-working motor with the conditions it needs to do its best work. By lubricating the different components, engine oil keeps things cool and protected. This makes routine oil changes one of the most important types of automotive maintenance.

How often Should I Schedule Oil Changes?

Several factors impact how often your car, truck, or SUV will require an oil change, including its make, model, year, condition, and oil type. To be sure, it is best to check the manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule found in your owner's manual.

In general, if your vehicle uses conventional oil, you should have the engine oil changed between about every 5,000 and 7,000 miles. If your vehicle uses fully synthetic oil, you may be able to go up to 15,000 miles or more between oil changes.

Depending on the make and year, your vehicle may also have a built-in oil change monitor that will alert you when it's time to schedule an oil change.

How Can I Check the Engine Oil in My Car?

If you want to check the engine oil levels in your vehicle, make sure it is parked on an even road safely out of the line of traffic. You will also want to wait for the engine to cool down before looking under the hood. When you're ready, you can check the oil levels in your car by following these steps:

  • Find the dipstick and pull it out
  • Wipe off the dipstick with a towel or rag
  • Reinsert the dipstick all the way down
  • Pull the dipstick back out and check the oil level

There should be an indicator range at the end of the dipstick. If the oil is between the markers, you're good to go. However, if your engine oil is low, you can top it off before scheduling a maintenance visit.

Healthy engine oil is usually light brown or amber in color. If it needs to be replaced, it may appear dark, dirty, thick, or sludgy.

What Are Signs My Car Needs an Oil Change?

In addition to getting regular oil changes and periodically checking your engine oil levels, there are a few other signs to watch out for. For instance, if you notice strange sounds coming from the engine, the check engine light pops up, or your car is vibrating more than usual while idling, your vehicle may need an oil change.

When you bring your car, truck, or SUV to one of our service bays, a qualified technician will perform an inspection to accurately diagnose whatever may be going on with it. Whether this is a simple oil change or something more in depth, they can help return your vehicle to peak operating condition.

You can easily schedule an oil change using our online scheduling form. If you like DIY automotive maintenance, a member of our parts department team can also help you get the genuine parts you need.
