What is the Importance of an Oil & Filter Change
Many people are guilty of putting off oil changes because they don’t seem like a big deal, but clean oil and oil filters are essential in maintaining a healthy engine. Oil lubricates the multitude of moving parts within your engine, allowing it to run smoothly. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes gummy or watery, and doesn’t work as well. If left unchanged, old oil can cause expensive and inconvenient engine problems.
At Christian Brothers Automotive Friendswood, we know oil and filter changes like the back of our hand. We will refill your oil levels and replace your oil filter. At that time, we will also offer a complimentary courtesy inspection to review the health and safety of your vehicle, where our experienced auto technicians visually inspect the major and minor systems within your vehicle.
