Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Change My Oil in Celina?
In Celina, we recommend changing your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions and the type of oil used. Local climate and driving habits can change how often you need an oil change. Check with our technicians for advice tailored to your vehicle’s needs.
What Type of Oil Should I Use For My Vehicle?
Your vehicle’s make, model, and age may determine the right oil. We offer conventional, synthetic, and blended oils, each with unique advantages. Synthetic oil often works best for high-mileage cars or those used in Celina’s hot summers. Check your owner’s manual or ask our team for the best recommendation for your engine.
Are There Any Signs That Indicate I Need An Oil Change?
Look for warning signs like a drop in fuel economy, unusual engine noises, or dark, dirty oil on the dipstick. When you notice changes like these, schedule an oil change soon to avoid engine damage.
Can I Drive to the Shop, or Should I Schedule an Appointment in Advance?
We welcome drive-ins, but booking your appointment in advance helps us serve you quickly. Scheduling ahead allows us to prepare for your visit and keeps your wait time short.
What Happens If I Don’t Change My Oil Regularly?
If you skip regular oil changes, you risk more engine wear, loss of performance, and bigger repairs down the road. Oil lubricates and cools your engine—without it, your vehicle can overheat and suffer major internal damage, shortening its life.
Does Texas Have Laws About Oil Change Disposal?
Texas law requires shops to collect, store, and recycle used oil and filters properly. At Christian Brothers Automotive Celina, we follow all local environmental rules for oil disposal, helping protect Celina’s water and community spaces. We help you choose responsible maintenance for your vehicle and city.
Will An Oil Change Void My Car’s Warranty?
If you follow manufacturer recommendations, routine oil changes will not void your vehicle’s warranty. We stick to factory guidelines and keep records so you can show proof of maintenance for any future warranty claims.
Schedule your oil change and keep your engine running smoothly!
