LUBE, OIL & FILTER SERVICES

An oil change and filter replacement is one of the best preventative maintenance services that will help your vehicle’s performance while extending the life of your vehicle. Over time, as oil becomes saturated with contaminants, excess particles are left behind in the engine, where they can form deposits and cause significant wear to the engine. An oil and filter change involves draining out the old motor oil and replacing it with fresh, new motor oil. The oil filter also gets replaced at the same time.

POPULAR QUESTIONS

  • Does it really matter where I take my car for service?

    Yup. A professional certified mechanic is required to undergo continual training in the latest systems and proficient use of state-of-the-art equipment in order to test the electronics that control most cars’ functions and to enable diagnosis and prognoses of complex problems. Equipment includes: electronic scopes to monitor sensor signals, scanners to communicate with the computers, etc.

    As well, a certified mechanic has access to tech-info services to reference wiring diagrams, manufacturer’s technical service bulletins and other data. Without these resources, a garage mechanic might easily misdiagnose your vehicle’s problem at your expense.

  • Should I consider using synthetic motor oil?

    Synthetic engine oils are produced through a synthesis process that takes very small molecules and assembles them into larger designer molecules with premium lubricating properties.

  • What parts should be replaced at what intervals?

    Belts & Hoses – 30,000 miles

    Timing Belts – 80,000 miles

    Brakes – 35-40,000 miles

    Tune-ups – 50,000 miles

    Trans service (fluid change) – 40,000 miles

    Motor oil & filter – 3 to 6,000 miles

    All of the above are approximate depending on how hard you drive your vehicle is best to follow owners book recommendations if possible.

  • Why does my dashboard's “engine light” icon light up?

    The check engine (or service engine) light illuminates to alert you that the computer has detected a malfunction in a fuel, ignition, or emission control circuit. You should have this problem diagnosed as soon as possible: if the light starts flashing, your car’s computer has detected an engine miss that could lead to catalytic converter damage if you continue using the vehicle.
