Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Signs That My Car Needs an Oil Change?
There are several indicators that your car may need an oil change, such as the engine running louder than usual, a burning smell inside the cabin, or the oil change/maintenance light coming on. Checking the oil's color—if it's dark or gritty—can also signal the need for a change. Regular checks and adhering to your vehicle’s oil change schedule will keep it running smoothly. It's important to note that frequent short trips or heavy towing can accelerate the need for an oil change. Keep an eye on your vehicle's performance and consider consulting our technicians if you notice any unusual behaviors.
A comprehensive understanding of your car's needs will not only keep it running efficiently but also extend its lifespan. Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive Liberty can help you establish a suitable maintenance plan that accounts for your unique driving habits and vehicle demands.
What Type of Oil Should I Use for My Vehicle?
The recommended oil type depends on your vehicle's make and model. Your owner’s manual will provide this information. At Christian Brothers Automotive Liberty, we offer a variety of oil types and can help you choose the best one for your vehicle, including conventional, blend, and full-synthetic oils.
Our knowledgeable staff will take the time to understand your driving conditions, including typical weather and road types you encounter, to recommend the optimal oil for your engine. By tailoring our suggestions to your specific situation, we ensure your vehicle achieves peak performance and longevity.
Why Is My Oil Change Taking Longer Than Expected?
Delays can occur if additional issues are found during the oil change, such as a need for filter replacements or vehicle inspections. Our priority is ensuring your vehicle is safe and ready for the road. We’ll communicate any delays to keep you informed.
Additionally, certain vehicle models may require special oil types or procedures, contributing to longer service times. Rest assured, our team is committed to providing thorough inspections that leave no stone unturned, even if it means additional time spent to ensure your vehicle is in optimal condition.
How Often Should I Get an Oil Change?
For most vehicles, an oil change is recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but this can vary based on driving conditions and oil type. Frequent short trips and extreme temperatures can necessitate more frequent changes. Our Kansas City team can help establish the ideal schedule for your vehicle's needs.
We recognize how crucial it is to maintain a balance between proactive maintenance and practical scheduling, tailoring our recommendations to your lifestyle and needs. Adhering to a consistent schedule not only keeps your vehicle in excellent shape but also helps you avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly later-stage repairs.
