With all the moving parts in your car’s engine, heat is constantly being produced. This heat is breaking down the oil you put in, which causes the parts to not be able to move as easily. Coming in to our Maple Grove oil change service is just what your car needs to function to the best of its ability. Not only will your engine run more smoothly, it will last longer and keep serving you and your family the way it was meant to. It’s important that you check your oil levels often and never drive long distances with low oil. You could not only ruin your day, but you could ruin your engine as well!

Warning Signs

There are multiple warning signs to watch out for when dealing with your car’s oil system. The most important to look for are: you being noticing low levels during dip stick inspection soon after having added oil, your oil light comes on or flickers, and leaks/ puddles start showing up underneath your car. Oil leaks are a very serious matter, and you can count on a Maple Grove oil change service to fully inspect and correct any problems you may have regarding your oil system and your engine’s well-being.

Oil Change Frequency

Most professionals recommend that you have your oil changed every 3,000 miles to be sure you’re receiving maximum engine protection, although some recommend 7,500 depending on your driving situation and your car’s make and model. If you’re unsure whether you are due for an oil change, consult your owner’s manual for more information, or simply come in to Accurate Auto for an inspection. Our team of professionals will make sure your car is in prime condition and at the optimal oil level. Having low oil levels can also negatively impact your oil filter, so not only do you need to make sure you’re come in for an oil change regularly, you also need to ask us about having your oil filter change.

Choosing Your Oil

The type of oil you put into your car’s engine is very important. Make sure you consult your owner’s manual or ask one of our technicians what oil viscosity (i.e. 5W or 10W) and thickness (i.e. 30 or 40) is right for your car. Never make a guess at what oil you should use. By doing so, you’re cheating yourself out of quality for your cash, and you’re cheating your car out of life and performance. Finding out what type of oil is recommended for your car is a fast and easy way to save yourself from future problems with your oil system.
