Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Get an Oil Change in Memphis?
While the general recommendation might be every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, many factors influence this, including driving conditions and oil type. Stop-and-go city driving common in Memphis may require more frequent changes. Consulting your vehicle’s manual or speaking with our experts can help determine the best schedule for your vehicle.
What Type of Oil Is Best for My Car?
The best oil depends on your vehicle's age, engine type, and typical driving conditions. Synthetic oils often perform better in Memphis's varied climate, providing stability in temperature extremes. Our team can help you choose the right type of oil tailored to your vehicle and lifestyle.
Why Do I Need to Change My Oil Filter?
The oil filter captures debris and contaminants that may cause wear and tear. Changing the filter with every oil change ensures your engine runs efficiently and prevents potential damage from dirty oil.
Can I Switch from Conventional to Synthetic Oil?
Yes, you can switch between oil types; however, following the manufacturer’s guidelines is crucial. Synthetic oil may offer better performance and protection, especially in Memphis's fluctuating weather conditions, which our team can discuss with you before deciding.
