Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Get a Quick Oil Change?
The frequency of oil changes depends on your vehicle's specific needs and usage. Most modern vehicles recommend an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or in extreme weather conditions, you might need to replace your oil more often. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner manual for the manufacturer’s guidance, and when in doubt, visit us in West Chicago for a personalized assessment.

Each type of oil has its benefits, with synthetic oils offering longer intervals between changes and better performance under high temperatures. Our team ensures that your vehicle's oil type aligns with its usage, providing personalized recommendations during every visit.
Why Is It Important to Replace the Oil Filter?
The oil filter plays a critical role in maintaining your engine’s health by trapping dirt, debris, and other contaminants before they can circulate through the engine. Over time, the filter becomes clogged, reducing its efficiency. Replacing the filter during every oil change ensures your engine is consistently protected against harmful contaminants.
Additionally, a clean oil filter improves oil flow, helping to keep the engine cool and ensure lubrication reaches all necessary components. This simple but effective component is essential for your engine's long-term well-being and should never be overlooked.
