Why Are Oil Changes Important?
Oil changes help maintain your engine’s health and performance by:
- Reducing Wear and Tear: Fresh oil lubricates engine parts, minimizing friction and wear.
- Improving Fuel Efficiency: Clean oil ensures optimal engine performance, saving you money on gas.
- Extending Engine Life: Regular oil changes prevent sludge buildup and overheating.
- Protecting Against Breakdowns: Proper lubrication reduces the risk of engine failure.

How often should you change your oil?
Our rule of thumb:
- Conventional oil (like 5W-30 or 10W-30): every 3,000 miles or 3 months
- Synthetic oil: every 5,000 miles or 6 months, or up to 6,000 to 6,500 miles if you drive almost all highway
Oil is cheap and engines are expensive. Modern engines have tight oil passages, and old oil that breaks down into sludge can clog them. More on this in how often you should change your oil and full synthetic vs. blend vs. conventional.

Why we don't run a $9.95 oil change special
You can't buy 5 quarts of oil and a filter at the parts store for $9.95, so a shop advertising that price has to make it up somewhere, usually with extra work it pushes once your car is on the lift. We'd rather charge a fair price for a real oil change and inspection and only recommend what your car actually needs. Read why.
