Wheaton Services: Oil Changes

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for your car is to get your oil changed regularly. That’s why today we’re going to take another look at one of our Wheaton Services: oil changes. Engine oil is important because you need it to lubricate any and all of the moving parts within your engine. It also makes sure to keep the engine cool and protect it from dirt, but the longer you leave the same oil in your engine the dirtier it gets itself. This is why you need to change it regularly.

Depending on your vehicle, the rate of time or kilometres between oil changes can vary. If you have an older vehicle, it’s generally recommended to change your oil every 5,000-10,000km or every 3-5 months. But its been confirmed that on some newer vehicles this interval is more than doubled thanks to advancement in oil chemistry and engine technology. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for the correct interval that you should be changing your oil at.

Whenever it is time for you to get your oil changed, you can bring your vehicle right into one of our three service departments for a full oil servicing. Not only will we change your engine oil for you, but we’ll change your oil filter as well. If you have any questions about when you should be getting your oil changed, what all goes into an oil changing, or anything else about our oil services at one of our Drive Wheaton service departments feel free to give us a call and we’ll be sure to answer them to the best of our abilities.
