Oil Change near Jacksonville, NC

It might just be time for an oil change. Don’t wait until your car has trouble shifting gears or starts to vibrate when idling. That can lead to larger problems with your vehicle’s engine, which can be much more expensive to repair and can be much more dangerous for your family. It’s important to have a routine maintenance schedule, which includes replacing your oil and oil filter every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Review your user manual for your specific vehicle’s oil change schedule or talk to our experts.

Why an oil change is important

Motor oil, whether conventional, synthetic, or a synthetic blend, keeps your car, truck, or SUV running smoothly and efficiently. Oil serves many functions, including:

• Lubrication: It flows through the moving pieces to help keep those intricate parts functioning as intended.
• Friction Reduction: If the lubricant is not present, those intricate pieces would grind and scrape against each other, wearing them down. Many pieces may even stop entirely, leading to engine failure.
• Engine Cooling: Most cars’ engines are built on a combustion process, which means they get very hot. As oil circulates, the liquid cools the engine down and prevents it from overheating.
• Cleaning and Filtering: Oil collects harmful particles and debris left behind by combustion and general wear-and-tear and directs them to the oil filter, keeping your engine clean and efficient. As part of every oil change service, we also replace the oil filter.

If you’re not sure whether you need an oil change, there are some signs it might be time. Check your oil. It may be low. It might be dark or otherwise dirty. You may smell a burnt oil smell in the cabin of the vehicle. You may experience trouble while accelerating. If your car has an oil light on the dashboard, as many newer vehicles do, it might be on. When you experience any of these issues, give us a call or schedule your appointment online.
