Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Change My Oil?
The frequency of oil changes can vary based on the type of oil and your driving conditions. Generally, conventional oil should be changed every 3,000 miles, while synthetic oil lasts 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Changes in Southaven’s weather or your driving habits may mean you need service more often. Our team will recommend a schedule that fits your car and lifestyle.
What Type of Oil Is Best for My Car?
Your car’s best oil depends on its make, model, and age. Southaven’s climate can also influence the ideal choice. Conventional oil costs less, but may not provide enough protection in extreme temperatures. Synthetic oil costs more, but lasts longer and guards your engine against heat or cold. Our team explains your options and helps you select the right oil for your needs.
Why Is an Oil Filter Change Important?
Changing your oil filter removes dirt that could harm your engine. If a filter gets clogged, it lowers engine performance and reduces fuel efficiency. Every oil change at Christian Brothers Automotive Southaven includes a fresh filter to keep your engine clean and running smoothly.
Clean oil filters help sensitive engine parts avoid buildup and sludge. We use quality filters that meet your car’s manufacturer guidelines for durability and performance.
Can I Wait for Oil Changes If I Don't Drive Much?
Even if you don’t drive often, oil breaks down with time. Moisture and contaminants can build up inside your engine. Most cars need an oil change at least twice a year, even with low mileage. We will talk with you about your driving habits to find a schedule that protects your vehicle.
Driving short trips puts extra strain on your engine compared to longer drives. Our team explains how these patterns affect oil life and offers advice for keeping your engine in good shape.
Are There Any Signs That My Oil Needs to Be Changed?
You may need an oil change if you notice engine noise, lower gas mileage, or your car’s oil change light turns on. Schedule service right away if any of these signs appear. At Christian Brothers Automotive Southaven, we send reminders and provide prompt oil changes to keep your engine healthy.
