Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind of Oil Does My Car Need?
The type of oil your car requires appears in the owner’s manual and may vary among conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic. The team at Christian Brothers Automotive Andover checks your vehicle and recommends the best oil to help it run smoothly and last longer.
Oil needs often change by model, and newer cars may use oil meant for better efficiency. Our technicians know the latest industry standards and interpret manufacturer recommendations for your car’s unique needs.
How Often Should I Get an Oil Change?
Most cars need an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but frequency can shift with driving conditions or oil type. If you drive mostly in Andover’s short trips or temperature extremes, you might need more frequent service.
Our team reviews your driving patterns to give tailored guidance. Adapting your maintenance schedule to fit the way you drive helps ensure reliability and can prevent costly repairs. Talking with our staff makes these guidelines easy to follow.
