The Importance of Oil and Filter Changes

Regular oil and filter changes are essential for your vehicle’s long-term health and performance. Here’s why they should never be overlooked:

Prevention of engine wear: Fresh oil keeps your engine’s moving parts lubricated, reducing friction and wear.
Improved engine efficiency: Clean oil helps your engine run smoother, improving fuel efficiency and reliability.
Reduced risk of overheating: Motor oil helps dissipate heat from the engine, lowering the risk of overheating.
Maintained engine cleanliness: Oil filters remove dirt, debris, and contaminants, preventing build-up inside your engine.
Prolonged engine life: Keeping up with oil changes can extend the life of your engine, saving you money on future repairs.

By staying on top of your oil changes, you’re not just performing routine maintenance—you’re making a smart investment in your vehicle’s future. These simple steps are the best way to ensure your car remains dependable and safe for all your travels.

The Benefits of Routine Oil Changes

Staying on schedule with your oil changes helps preserve your vehicle’s warranty and can maintain its resale value. Many manufacturers require proof of regular oil services, and a documented service history gives future buyers peace of mind.

Routine oil changes offer several benefits beyond simply keeping your engine clean:

Maximized fuel economy: Clean oil reduces friction, helping your engine run more efficiently and improving your gas mileage.
Improved engine performance: Fresh oil promotes smooth and responsive driving for your car.
Early detection of potential issues: Regular oil changes allow our technicians to check for any early warning signs or leaks.
Fewer repairs: Keeping up with oil changes reduces the likelihood of expensive repairs down the road.
Peace of mind: Routine service gives you the confidence that your vehicle has the maintenance it needs.

During every oil change at our Lincoln location, our staff reviews your car’s requirements and local driving conditions. Whether you commute in town or travel across the state, we offer a variety of oil options—including conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic—to fit your specific needs and Lincoln’s climate.

Our team selects the best oil and filter for your engine and driving routine, ensuring protection and reliability. Documentation for each service supports your maintenance records for warranty and future resale.

At Christian Brothers Automotive South Lincoln, we make oil and filter changes straightforward while helping your vehicle perform at its best. Our ASE-certified technicians, local focus, and 40+ years of experience mean you get care you can count on. Every oil change comes with our 3 Year / 36,000 Mile Warranty, so you know your car is in good hands.

Choosing the Right Oil & Filter for Your Vehicle

Using the correct oil and filter extends the life of your engine, especially with Nebraska’s changing climate. At Christian Brothers Automotive South Lincoln, we help you understand the main types of oil—conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic—so you can pick what fits your car and driving habits in Lincoln. Here are your options:

Conventional Oil: This type of oil is a good fit for lower-mileage vehicles that see steady, mild use.
Full Synthetic Oil: If you make frequent short trips or have lots of cold starts in winter, this oil protects better against engine wear.
Synthetic Blend: This is a mix of synthetic and conventional oils, offering better protection than conventional oil against high temperatures and stress.

We stock quality filters matched to your vehicle and driving environment. Our team always checks manufacturer requirements and listens to your concerns before recommending an oil and filter. Recommendations are based on your car, how you drive, and what Lincoln’s weather means for your engine. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of why your oil and filter work best for your needs in this area.

FAQs

How often should I get an oil change?

The right oil change interval depends on your car, oil type, and driving style. While many vehicles suggest every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, regular city driving or extreme Nebraska temperatures may require changes more frequently. Check your owner's manual or ask our team for the best schedule for your situation.

Does the type of oil affect my warranty?

Yes. Using the manufacturer’s recommended oil and following regular intervals helps preserve your vehicle's warranty. Keep records of your oil changes to support your coverage if it’s ever required.

What do technicians check during a quick oil change?

During an oil change, our technicians drain the old oil, replace the filter, add fresh oil, and inspect for leaks, worn components, or other issues. We also check fluid levels and provide recommendations if we notice anything during the visit.

How does Lincoln's climate affect my engine?

Nebraska's extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, put extra stress on your engine. Cold starts in winter and high heat in summer can cause oil to break down faster, so consistent oil changes are crucial for protecting your engine and maintaining performance.

What is the difference between synthetic and conventional oil?

Conventional oil is refined from crude oil and works well for standard driving. Synthetic oil is a more advanced lubricant that provides superior protection and performance in extreme temperatures, making it an excellent choice for a car that is driven in Lincoln's climate.

How can Christian Brothers Automotive help me with my oil change?

Our team provides personalized oil change services, taking into account your specific vehicle and driving habits. We offer a variety of quality oil types and perform a multi-point inspection to catch other potential issues, ensuring you drive away with confidence.
