Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does an oil change take?

Once in the bay, an oil change typically will take under 15 minutes. It may take longer depending on if you choose to rotate your tires at the time of your oil change. A tire rotation will typically add another 10 minutes to the service.

How often do I have to change my oil?

For conventional oil, we recommend 3 months or 3,000 miles, whichever occurs first. For semi-synthetic oil, we recommend 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever occurs first. For full synthetic oil, we recommend 9 months or 7,500 miles, whichever occurs first. The reason why it isn't 9,000 miles on full synthetic oil is that the oil filter's life is limited to 7,500 miles.

Why does it matter what type of oil I put in my car?

The type of oil is considered when the engine of the vehicle is engineered. The weight and type are matched to the specific clearances and tolerances of the internally lubricated components of the engine. Most late model vehicles require a minimum standard of semi-synthetic oil to be used in order to adhere to the manufacturer's warranty.

Why do I have to change my oil filter?

The filter is used to trap the debris that is circulated through the engine as the engine wears internally. It also traps harmful deposits created from the combustion process and the type of fuel you use that accumulate over time.

What does 5w-30 mean, what is oil weight?

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established a numerical code system from grading motor oils according to their viscosity characteristics. Because the viscosity of oil changes with temperature, multigrade oils were developed to provide protection across a range of temperatures. This is why you would see something like this on the label: SAE 5W30. In a 5W30 oil for example, the number before the "W" (which means winter) describes the viscosity of the oil at low temperatures. The lower the number, the thinner the oil, and the better the oil's cold temperature/cold start performance. The number after the "W" describes the viscosity of the oil at normal operating temperature.

Why do synthetic oil changes last longer?

Synthetic oil is not only refined but also distilled, purified, and broken down into its basic molecules. This process not only removes more impurities from the crude oil but also enables individual molecules in the oil to be tailored to the demands of modern engines. These customized molecules provide a much higher level of protection and performance than conventional oils. Therefore, you are able to drive longer and further on synthetic engine oil.

Why doesn't my oil life monitor line up with my service sticker?

The oil life monitor does not take into account the extreme environmental conditions and temperature fluctuations that we deal with in North Dakota.

What is included with the multi-point inspection?

The 17-point inspection includes: Checking that all lights are working properly. Inspecting wiper blades. Checking all fluids under the hood including a visual inspection of the transparent brake fluid reservoir. Checking air filter. Checking battery. Checking tire pressure and condition. Inspection of all 4WD components underneath the vehicle when applicable. It also includes a complimentary alignment check.

What happens if I go over the recommended mileage between oil changes?

It is not the end of the world by any means. It is always good to error on the side of doing your maintenance sooner rather than later but if you are over on your mileage or your time interval, we would just recommend doing your service as soon as possible.

FAQs

What is the difference between an oil change and a full-service oil change? ›

A full-service oil change by a professional mechanic can help maintain your vehicle. In addition to replacing dirty oil, this service includes checks on different parts of the car to ensure it's in great shape and to look for any signs of premature damage.

How many miles do cars usually travel between engine oil changes and oil filter replacements? ›

Every Oil Change

In general, most newer vehicles are designed to run on 6,000 or 7,500-mile cycles for oil changes (the old 3,000-mile cycle is a myth in terms of newer vehicles). Most mechanics agree that it's just a smart idea to have the filter swapped out every time you take your car in for an oil change.

What does basic oil change mean? ›

Put simply an oil change is when you take out the motor oil from your engine and put back in new motor oil. During an oil change you also have to change the oil filter and put on a new one. The oil and oil filter do so much for your engine that getting regular oil changes is the best way to keep your vehicle healthy.

What comes with a standard oil change? ›

What Is Included in a Full-Service Oil Change? When you get a full-service change, an auto technician will change your car's motor oil with the type that it needs, which could be conventional, synthetic, synthetic blend, or high-mileage oil. You'll also have your used oil and oil filter replaced and recycled.

Is a full synthetic oil change better than a regular oil change? ›

Synthetics have some advantages over conventional motor oil. They're designed to be more effective at: Resisting oil breakdown, which makes it last longer than conventional oil. Withstanding higher temperatures than conventional oil, which helps keep engines running longer.

Should I go by mileage or oil life for oil change? ›

Generally, it is best to follow the oil life indicator provided by your vehicle's onboard computer, as it gives a more accurate reflection of your oil's condition. However, if your vehicle doesn't have an oil life monitor, adhering to the mileage recommendations in your owner's manual is a reliable method.

How much should I spend on an oil change? ›

Typically, an oil and filter change using conventional oil will cost between $35 and $75, depending on your area. If your car requires synthetic oil, you should expect to pay more (anywhere from $65 to $125) but you make up some of the cost, since synthetic oil lasts longer and has to be changed less frequently.

How long can you go without an oil change? ›

Cars can generally go 5,000 to 7,500 miles before needing an oil change. Furthermore, if your vehicle uses synthetic oil, you can drive 10,000 or even 15,000 miles between oil changes. Continue reading to learn more about oil changes or skip to scheduling your oil change right here on our website.

What happens if you don't get regular oil changes? ›

In fact, if you wait too long for an oil change, your smooth and clean oil will turn into dirty sludge. When this happens, your engine must work harder to fight through the buildup of muck. It loses its lubrication, and decreases heat absorption. This means that your car will be susceptible to major issues.

Do they check your transmission fluid when you get an oil change? ›

Your technician will check to make sure that your transmission fluids are clean and filled up.

Do they check antifreeze during oil change? ›

These include transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid. During an oil change, the mechanic often checks these fluids' levels and quality. If any fluid appears low or dirty, it may be topped off or replaced, maintaining your vehicle's overall health.

Do they change your air filter when you get an oil change? ›

AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT

We'll inspect your air filter as part of our free maintenance check – every time you purchase a full service oil change. We can replace your cabin air filter as well. Find a location.

Is an oil change a full service? ›

What is included in a full service of a vehicle? ​A full service of a vehicle typically includes an oil and filter change, a visual inspection of fluid levels and components, a wheel alignment check, a brake inspection, and an inspection of the air filter and other filters.

Is an oil service the same as a service? ›

Does an Engine Oil & Filter Change count as a service? Despite an Engine Oil & Filter Change being an essential part of car maintenance it is not classed as a service as it does not cover the full range of vehicle checks that are required to stamp your vehicle logbook and reset the service light.

Can you have an oil change without a service? ›

Maintains Performance. An oil and filter change is ideal for maintaining your cars peak operating performance between services, but is not recommended as a replacement for an annual service. If you're unsure the last time your car had an oil change or service, we recommend either a Full or Major Service.

Does service required mean oil change? ›

When the maintenance required light comes up, it usually means that you need to change your vehicle's oil and the oil filter, rotate the tires, or inspect the level of various fluids. Manufacturers program this warning light to come up automatically every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or after the last oil change.
