What Happens During an Oil Change?

During oil change service in Jerome at Con Paulos Chevrolet, our technicians remove the old, contaminated oil from your engine and replace it with fresh oil. They also install a new oil filter. This process ensures the engine's moving parts are properly lubricated, reducing friction and wear.

Why Keeping Up with Oil Changes Is Essential

Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining your engine's health. Over time, engine oil degrades and accumulates contaminants, diminishing its ability to lubricate and cool the engine effectively. By adhering to a consistent oil change schedule, you keep the engine clean and prevent excessive wear, which can lead to costly repairs.

How Often Should You Schedule an Oil Change?

The recommended frequency for oil changes varies depending on several factors, including your vehicle's make and model, the type of oil used, driving habits, and conditions. While some guidelines suggest changing the oil every 3,000 miles or three months, many modern vehicles equipped with advanced engine oil life monitoring systems can go between 5,000 to 10,000 miles before requiring an oil change. Consult your owner's manual or speak with our service advisors to determine the best schedule for your vehicle.

Choosing the Best Oil for Your Engine

Choosing the right oil keeps your engine running strong for years. There are several types to consider:

• Synthetic Oil: Ideal for high-tech engines, synthetic oil offers superior lubrication, performs well in extreme temperatures, and can improve fuel efficiency. 
•  Synthetic Blend Oil: A combination of synthetic and conventional oils, this type provides better protection than conventional oil, especially under heavy loads and high temperatures, and is more cost-effective than full synthetic oil.  
• Conventional Oil: The budget-friendly choice for older vehicles and simpler engines. It's cheaper than synthetic oil but doesn't provide the same level of engine protection.   

High-Mileage Oil: Designed for vehicles with over 75,000 miles, high-mileage oil is specially formulated to help reduce oil consumption, minimize oil leaks and seepage, and keep aging engines running better.  

The choice of oil depends on your vehicle's age, mileage, manufacturer recommendations, and driving conditions. Our experienced technicians at Con Paulos Chevrolet can assist you in selecting the best oil for your vehicle's needs.  

Regular oil changes are a small investment that pays off by preventing engine problems and extending your vehicle's life. Whether you're a long-time car owner or a new driver, understanding the importance of this maintenance task is key to keeping your vehicle performing at its best.
