Oil Change in Goose Creek, SC
Keep Your Engine In Good Shape
Never Skip An Oil Change
Changing the oil is the number one way to keep your car in great condition. Clean oil in your car’s system will ensure your engine and engine controls are properly lubricated and running well. Plus, it’s one of the easiest things to keep up when you keep it on a regular schedule. Without an oil change, friction can build up and wear down many essential engine parts. With worn-down parts, your engine will work harder than it should, risking overheating and pressure on the engine. Plus, a car that gets regular oil changes gets better gas mileage and emits better emissions than one that goes without. Those who don’t change their oil regularly can pay the consequence of a bigger, costlier repair that could set them back more than if they just got their oil changed.
Parts of an Oil Change
The most important component of an oil change is, of course, the oil. It’s important to follow the recommendation of your vehicle’s manufacturer. We’ll be able to find the exact type of oil that will keep your engine in optimal condition. Synthetic oil is for high-performance vehicles. While it’s often the most expensive, its formula allows it to last longer and run cleaner, all while maintaining viscosity. Semi-synthetic oil is a combination of synthetic and conventional oil. Changing out synthetic oil every six months or 6,000 miles is recommended. While semi-synthetic oil isn’t as high-performing as full synthetic and needs to be changed every five months or 5,000 miles, it’s still a higher-quality option than conventional oil and cost-effective. Conventional oil is only for old cars, so it may not be recommended unless you drive a truly old-school model. You might come in every three months or 3,000 miles for an oil change if you use conventional oil. We’ll also change your oil filter so debris doesn’t reach the engine. An oil filter will keep it clean from contaminants that could build up over time and affect the performance of your car’s engine.
Bringing Your Car In For An Oil Change
You can change your oil yourself, but having a certified mechanic can guarantee that everything is done per the manufacturer’s recommendation and without voiding the warranty on your vehicle. We can help check your oil levels, too. If you have checked the oil level yourself and noticed that the oil is anything other than black or brown in color, or even if you see dirt or anything strange in the oil, call Auto Repair Experts at (843) 873-7626 to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Whether it’s for a regular oil change or something strange on the dipstick, we can take the opportunity to check other levels in your car, like the coolant or the windshield wiper fluid.
