Oil Change FAQs in Dothan, AL
We all know cars need regular oil changes, but have you ever stopped to ask why oil changes are important? Or have you wondered what the difference is between conventional and synthetic oil? Many drivers ask these questions and don?t follow up on finding the answers, so we?ll do that for you right now! Keep reading to get the answers to some common questions about oil changes.
What's the difference between synthetic and conventional oil?
Synthetic oil, as opposed to conventional oil, is refined and distilled. Doing so breaks it down into individual molecules that are more able to meet the demands of some modern engines. Also, synthetic oils grant better performance and protection than conventional oils.
How often should you change the oil in your vehicle?
Typically, you should change the oil between 5,000 and 10,000 miles. However, some synthetic oils allow vehicles to drive for longer distances before an oil change is necessary. As always, talk to your service technician to be sure about what's right for your vehicle.
Why should I bring my vehicle to the dealership to have my oil changed?
If you change your own oil, pat yourself on the back, because it's not easy to do. An oil change can get messy and it requires several supplies to perform. If you're not used to doing it yourself or just don?t want to go through the hassle, it's much easier to trust our expert technicians to get it done quickly and correctly.
