Changing your engine oil regularly is one of the most affordable and critical maintenance services you can do to keep your engine running for as long as you own the car–or longer.
At My Mechanic, you’ll have professional, career-minded automotive technicians changing your oil. We know the quick oil change lanes are “convenient,” but they focus on getting you in and getting you out, regardless of the condition of your vehicle. We take the time to inspect your vehicle so we can keep you informed about the overall health of your car or truck. We will make you aware of any safety issues today, as well as any upcoming repair or maintenance needs. This allows you to plan and budget accordingly.
In addition, if we see a repair that requires immediate attention, we can take care of that for you while you’re here. If you’re at a quick lube, they’ll have to refer you to a full-service auto repair shop, requiring you to take your car in for service a second time.
Many new cars today come from the factory with synthetic engine oil. For those vehicles, we recommend changing the oil every 5,000 miles or every 6 months. At My Mechanic, a lot of the services we recommend with an oil change are already included, such as inspecting the vehicle and topping off the fluids. If your engine uses conventional motor oil, we recommend changing the oil every 3,000 miles or every 6 months.
In addition, these services are commonly done at the same time as an oil change:
Replacing the air filter
Replacing the cabin air filter
Rotating the tires
Inspecting the brakes
Changing the wiper blades
