the Importance of an Oil & Filter Change
Many people are guilty of putting off oil changes because they don’t seem like a big deal, but clean oil and oil filters are essential in maintaining a healthy engine. Oil lubricates the multitude of moving parts within your engine, allowing it to run smoothly. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes gummy or watery, and doesn’t work as well. If left unchanged, old oil can cause expensive and inconvenient engine problems.
At Christian Brothers Automotive Hutto, we know oil and filter changes like the back of our hand. At the same time that we perform a quick oil change for you, we will also offer a complimentary courtesy inspection to review the health and safety of your vehicle as a whole. Our experienced auto technicians can then visually inspect the major and minor systems within your vehicle.
How Often Should I Get an Oil Change?
The frequency of oil changes depends on various factors, including your vehicle's model, the type of oil used, and your driving habits. Generally, it is recommended to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles for conventional oil. You can consult your vehicle's owner's manual or speak with our technicians at Christian Brothers Automotive Hutto for personalized advice tailored to your needs.
Benefits of oil changes include:
