Not Sure if You Have the Time to Take Your Car for an Oil Change?
Many people have asked us what the benefits are of using our mobile oil change services, so we wrote this blog post to answer that question.
You should hire such a service when you don’t want to drive all the way to a garage. However, you first need to find such a service if you live out of the Friday Harbor, WA area. You can find reviews online and find out what their availability is like. Get to know when and how they can provide you with the services that you need.
It is recommended that you have your oil changed every 3,500 miles for regular oil and every 5,000 miles for synthetic oil. Checking and changing your oil is essential to keeping your engine working properly and efficiently. If you are unsure if you need an oil change, check the oil level when your car is parked on a flat surface. Open the hood and remove the dipstick, wipe off with a cloth and then put it back into the oil tank. Pull it out again to see if the level is within the acceptable range. If you decide to add the oil yourself, never overfill it, as this can damage the engine.
Every automobile manufacturer recommends oil changes once every year or every 7,500 miles on cars and light truck gasoline engines. Diesel and turbocharged gasoline engines should be changed every 3,000 miles or every 6 months.
You’ll find that a once-a-year oil change is for vehicles that are driven in ideal circumstances. What many of us think is “normal” driving is actually “severe service” driving, and this will include regular short trips, stop-and-go city traffic driving, dusty conditions, and continuous highway driving during the warm season. For this kind of driving, the recommendation is to change the oil every 3,000 miles.
