Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Change My Oil?
The frequency of oil changes depends on several factors, including the type of oil used, your vehicle's age, and your driving habits. For conventional oil, we recommend changing your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Synthetic and blend oils can last longer, up to 7,500 miles or more.
Always consult your owner's manual or speak with one of our technicians to determine the best schedule for your vehicle. Regular oil changes help maintain optimal engine performance and longevity.
What Happens If I Don’t Change My Oil Regularly?
Neglecting regular oil changes can lead to serious engine problems. As oil ages, it becomes contaminated with dirt and debris, losing its effectiveness as a lubricant. This buildup can cause increased friction between engine components, leading to overheating and potential engine failure.
Regular oil changes remove these contaminants and ensure your engine remains well-lubricated, preventing costly repairs and extending your vehicle's life.
Can I Change My Oil Myself?
While changing your oil can be a DIY task, having the necessary tools, knowledge, and disposal methods is important. Working with Christian Brothers Automotive Amarillo ensures the job is done right, using professional-grade equipment and techniques.
Our ASE-certified technicians replace your oil and filter and inspect other key components, offering peace of mind and comprehensive care. We also handle oil disposal in an environmentally responsible manner.
Why Should I Choose Synthetic Oil?
Synthetic oil provides superior protection and performance, particularly in extreme temperatures and demanding driving conditions. It offers better lubrication, reduces engine wear, enhances fuel efficiency, and requires less frequent changes.
Ideal for high-performance engines or vehicles under warranty, synthetic oil can be a wise investment for long-term engine health. Our team can advise you on the best oil type based on your vehicle's requirements.
What Are the Signs My Car Needs an Oil Change?
Common signs that indicate the need for an oil change include a dashboard oil light, engine noise or knocking, dark or dirty oil, and an increase in exhaust smoke.
If you experience any of these symptoms, visit Christian Brothers Automotive Amarillo in Amarillo to have your oil evaluated by professionals. Regular checks and timely changes are crucial to maintaining engine health and avoiding potential breakdowns.
