FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How Often Should I Change My Oil?

We recommend booking an oil change every 6 months or 5,000 miles for best results.

Modern synthetic oils are much more efficient and last longer than traditional mineral engine lubricants. This means that you no longer need to change your oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles.

If you take care of your car with other maintenance as well, your engine oil may last even longer than 5,000 miles.

How Often Should I Change My Oil Filter?

You should always change your oil filter at the same time as your engine oil. This means replacing it every 5,000 miles or 6 months.

If you only change one and not the other, your car can’t lubricate the engine properly. Fresh oil passing through an old filter will go bad quickly, leading to more frequent oil changes.

Similarly, dirty oil passing through a fresh filter will clog it with dust and debris quickly. This limits the amount of oil which can circulate and risks damaging your engine.

How Long Does an Oil Change Take?

An oil change usually takes between 30-45 minutes.

During this time, a technician will drain your old oil, replace the oil filter and fill the engine with new oil.

What’s the Difference Between a Car Service and an Oil Change?

An oil change replaces your car’s engine oil and filter with no other maintenance included. A car service includes a number of essential safety checks alongside the oil change. These ensure that your car is in good condition and that everything is working properly.

How Does an Oil Change Benefit Me?

An oil change should be completed alongside a regular car service schedule. It is not a replacement for a full service, but it is a good starting point to improve your car maintenance habits.

It is the most essential form of car care. By completing an oil change every 5,000 miles, you can reduce your chances of seeing the engine management light. Your car cannot run without engine oil, so if the onboard computer notices a problem with the oil, it will show a red engine management light. This is frightening and stressful.

On top of this, neglecting an oil and filter change can lead to more expensive car repairs in the future. Poor quality engine oil can lead to engine damage, which is difficult to reverse cheaply. Spending a little on an oil change service in the short-term saves you a lot of money later on, as well as extending the lifespan of your car by keeping other important parts in good condition.

Why Do I Need to Book an Oil Change?

Over time, oil becomes dirty and the oil filter becomes clogged. If you don’t change them regularly, your engine will suffer performance issues.

An oil change is a cost-effective way to keep these parts in top condition. A mechanic will fully drain and refill your engine oil and replace the dirty oil filter during the service. It’s a simple service and that’s why an oil change is much more affordable than a full service.
