Oil Change Service Interval Recommendations

1. Engines still consume oil and running out of oil is catastrophic to the engine, most people never check their oil, and we see engines several litres low on oil ALL the time.  Waiting another thousand kilometres may have run them completely empty.

1. Engines consume more oil as the mileage gets higher, therefore our change in recommendations at 100,000 km

1. Changing the oil frequently will prolong the engines life.

1. Clean oil will prolong oil seals life by keeping them soft and prevent leaks

1. Dirt, moisture and other contaminants build up in oil just as fast as they used to, and can cause drastic consequences if left in the engine too long.

1. No two cars are driven exactly the same way and the extended intervals are based on ideal conditions, that many of our cars never see.

1. Most vehicles only get a maintenance inspection when the oil is being changed, inspection filters and items that wear with age, twice a year is our recommendation to keep your car safe and reliable.

1. Vehicle manufacturers are in the business of selling new cars, every car that lasts beyond 150,000 km is one lest vehicle sold. We see many cars with well over 300,000 km on them and performing great. These vehicles have one thing in common: they have been well maintained.
