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 Holland, we know oil and filter changes like the back of our hands. 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.
Frequently Asked Questions About Oil Changes in Holland
What Happens If I Don't Change My Oil Regularly?
Failing to change your oil regularly can lead to a host of engine issues. Over time, engine oil breaks down and loses its ability to lubricate, cool, and clean engine components effectively. If left unchanged, old oil can cause increased friction and heat, leading to parts wearing out faster than normal. Accumulation of dirt and sludge can clog the oil filter, further restricting oil flow. This can eventually lead to severe engine damage that requires extensive repairs or even engine replacement. Regular maintenance is essential to avoid these costly issues, ensuring your vehicle continues running smoothly.
How Can I Tell Which Oil is Best for My Car?
Selecting the best oil involves considering several factors, such as your vehicle's age, driving conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. The owner's manual is a great starting point as it specifies the type and grade of oil ideal for your car. Factors like climate also influence oil selection. For instance, in the variable climate of Holland, synthetic oil can offer better performance and protection across different temperatures. Consulting with our qualified technicians at Christian Brothers Automotive Holland can provide personalized advice for choosing the optimal oil type.
