Oil & Filter

What is an Oil & Filter Service?

An Oil & Filter service involves draining the old engine oil from your vehicle and replacing it with new oil as recommended by the manufacturer. This service also includes changing the oil filter to ensure the new oil remains clean.

Oil and oil filters are crucial for your engine’s health. Oil lubricates the internal combustion engine, reducing friction and wear on moving parts. The oil filter keeps the oil free from dirt, minimising the risk of damage to essential engine components.

How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Manufacturers and car experts suggest changing your oil every 12 months, or more frequently for high-mileage vehicles.

Oil acts as a lubricant in your engine, preventing friction and protecting mechanical components. Over time, engine oil loses its effectiveness, and low, thin, or old oil can cause internal components to wear out faster. Regular oil changes are essential to maintain your car’s performance.

What Type of Oil Does My Car Need?

Your vehicle’s engine requires the correct grade of oil to lubricate and protect its internal parts. The appropriate oil grade is determined by the manufacturer based on factors like engine size and operating temperature range.
