The Importance of Regular Oil Changes
Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s performance and extending its lifespan. Oil lubricates essential engine components, reducing friction and preventing wear. Allowing oil to become dirty can increase engine temperature, promote sludge buildup, and decrease fuel efficiency. Sticking to a recommended schedule removes these harmful contaminants, provides engine protection from costly damage, and keeps your vehicle performing its best in all conditions.
Adhering to a schedule is also important for maintaining your vehicle's warranty. Many manufacturers require proof of routine maintenance to keep guarantees valid, an issue that affects both your car’s resale value and future repairs. Our service is designed to protect both your immediate performance and your long-term vehicle value.
Types of Oil Changes We Offer
At Christian Brothers Automotive Lubbock, we offer different options tailored to your vehicle, based on your owner’s manual and driving patterns. These options include:
- Conventional Oil Change: The right fit for older, low-mileage vehicles, offering solid protection and reliable engine lubrication at a budget-friendly price.
- Blend Oils for Protection: A practical mix of conventional and synthetic oils for extra protection, ideal for vehicles experiencing moderate driving stress or frequent stop-and-go traffic.
- Full-Synthetic Oil Change: Designed for high-performance or newer vehicles, our service provides premium protection and withstands extreme temperatures.
For maximum engine protection, every service includes a brand-new oil filter. Our technicians can also recommend trusted oil additives designed to prolong each change interval and reduce engine friction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get an oil change?

Signs include increased engine noise, a noticeable reduction in fuel efficiency, dashboard light illumination, or oil that appears dark and dirty on the dipstick.
