How Often Should You Change Your Oil Filter?
Regular oil and filter changes are crucial for the longevity of your vehicle. Typically, changing your oil filter every time you change your oil is recommended.

Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil: Which Is Right for You?
Choosing between synthetic and conventional oil can impact your vehicle's performance. Synthetic oil offers superior protection, especially in extreme temperatures, and is ideal for high-performance engines. Conventional oil, while more affordable, may require more frequent changes. Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive Mansfield can help you determine the best option for your vehicle, considering factors like driving habits and manufacturer recommendations.
When considering oil types, it’s vital to consider climate conditions and driving patterns. Vehicles in high-stress environments or those frequently driven in stop-and-go traffic may benefit more from synthetic oils. Consult our service professionals to evaluate your typical driving environment and select the oil that fits both your budget and vehicle demands. Our guidance ensures that you choose a product that provides the right balance of protection and cost-effectiveness.
