Oil & Filter Change Services in Hixson, TN

Keep Your Engine Running Smoothly

Your vehicle’s engine works hard every day; over time, oil breaks down and collects dirt, debris, and sludge. This buildup can cause increased friction, overheating, and premature engine wear without regular oil changes. In Hixson’s varying driving conditions, from stop-and-go traffic to highway cruising, clean oil remains essential for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Staying on top of oil changes extends your engine’s lifespan and boosts your vehicle’s reliability and safety.

At Christian Brothers Automotive Hixson, our ASE-certified technicians offer oil & filter change services based on your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations. Whether your car needs conventional, synthetic blend, or full-synthetic oil, we provide a precise and efficient oil change to keep your engine properly lubricated. With our focus on quality service, you’ll enjoy a smoother ride, better fuel economy, and greater peace of mind on the road.

Our Oil Change Process: What to Expect

When you visit us for your service, our goal is to provide a transparent and thorough process tailored to your vehicle.

Our process takes these local driving patterns into account to ensure your vehicle is well-prepared for your daily routine.

Here’s a step-by-step look at what to expect:

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Get an Oil Change in Hixson, TN?

Factors such as driving conditions, oil type, and vehicle specifications determine oil change frequency. Most manufacturers recommend oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles when using conventional oil, while synthetic oils can last up to 7,500 miles. Consult your vehicle’s manual or talk to our technicians at Christian Brothers Automotive Hixson for advice based on Hixson's climate and your driving habits.

What Types of Oil Do You Offer for Oil Changes?

At Christian Brothers Automotive Hixson, we offer conventional, synthetic blend, and full-synthetic oil options. Each oil type offers a different balance of performance and cost, and our team will help you choose what’s best for your vehicle and driving style.

Synthetic blend oils present a middle ground, combining performance with affordability. They work well for drivers who seek more protection than conventional oil but don't require the benefits of full synthetic. Our staff explains the positives of each oil type to help you decide.

Why Should I Replace My Oil Filter with Every Change?

The oil filter catches dirt and stops it from circulating through your engine. Replacing the filter with each oil change keeps the new oil clean and improves engine performance and longevity. Christian Brothers Automotive Hixson always installs oil filters that match your vehicle’s requirements.

Old oil filters can become clogged and put stress on the engine or lead to expensive repairs. Changing filters each time preserves the efficiency of your oil, offers better wear protection, and saves you from bigger problems down the road.

What Are the Signs That My Car Needs an Oil Change?

Look out for dark, dirty oil, engine noise, sluggish performance, or a dashboard oil light. If you notice any of these signs, bring your car to Christian Brothers Automotive Hixson to avoid engine damage.

A sudden spike in fuel use may also suggest you need an oil change. If you smell oil inside your vehicle, that could signal a leak or a filter issue. Responding quickly helps keep your vehicle running its best.
