What is Oil Servicing?

Oil servicing involves draining old engine oil, replacing it with fresh oil, and fitting a new oil filter. Engine oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and helps regulate temperature. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated, making it less effective. Regular servicing restores optimal protection for your engine.

A typical oil service includes:

• Draining old engine oil to remove contaminants and degraded oil that can harm engine components.

• Replacing with manufacturer-approved oil grade to ensure compatibility and optimal engine performance.

• Fitting a new oil filter to trap dirt and debris, preventing them from circulating through the engine.

• Checking fluid levels and top-ups including coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid to maintain overall vehicle health.

• Basic health checks for key components such as belts, hoses, and battery to identify potential issues early.

This comprehensive approach ensures your vehicle runs smoothly and helps prevent costly repairs down the line.

Benefits of Regular Oil Servicing

• Engine protection: Fresh oil reduces wear and tear on moving parts by providing a clean, lubricated environment.

• Improved performance: Clean oil ensures smoother running and better responsiveness, helping your car accelerate and handle more efficiently.

• Fuel efficiency: A well-lubricated engine uses less fuel, saving you money at the pump and reducing your carbon footprint.

• Extended lifespan: Prevents costly damage and prolongs the life of your vehicle by keeping engine components in optimal condition.

• Reduced emissions: Clean oil helps your car run more efficiently and lowers harmful exhaust output, contributing to a cleaner environment.

Regular oil servicing is a simple yet effective way to maintain your vehicle’s reliability and performance.

Why is Oil Servicing Important?

Without regular oil changes, engines can suffer from sludge build-up, overheating, and increased friction. This can lead to poor performance, higher fuel consumption, and even serious mechanical failures. Over time, old oil loses its ability to lubricate effectively, causing metal parts to grind against each other and wear prematurely.

Oil servicing is a preventative measure that saves money in the long run and keeps your car safe on the road. It helps avoid breakdowns and costly repairs by maintaining the engine’s internal cleanliness and efficiency. Additionally, regular servicing can help maintain your vehicle’s warranty and resale value.

How Often Should You Service Your Oil?

Most vehicles benefit from an oil service every 12 months or 10,000–12,000 miles, depending on driving style and conditions. Drivers who frequently make short trips, drive in stop-and-go traffic, or operate in extreme temperatures may require more frequent servicing.

High-mileage vehicles or those used for towing or heavy-duty purposes should also consider more regular oil changes to protect the engine under increased strain. Always refer to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations and consult with our technicians for personalized advice.
