Keeping your engine lubricated helps your vehicle run as it should. Fresh, clean oil extends the life of your vehicle, so CDJR oil change service can actually enhance your vehicle’s performance. To maintain your vehicle’s engine integrity, it is important to get oil changes before a warning sign appears.
Signs Your Car Needs Oil
The best time for oil change service depends on your manufacturer’s recommendations in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. It also depends on how and where you drive your vehicle. If you regularly use your vehicle to tow heavy trailers or in stressful stop-and-go traffic, you should get your oil changed more often than the manufacturer recommends. Otherwise, if you have normal driving conditions, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Most late-model vehicles have oil-life monitors that let you know the percentage of remaining oil life. You can use this information to determine when you need an oil change. You can also track your mileage, as many vehicles need a CDJR oil change between 3,000 and 10,000 miles. You can also get an oil change every season, especially if you do not put many miles on your vehicle. Oil change and maintenance service schedules keep your warranty valid and can help keep your vehicle’s value at a premium.
Between oil changes, you should check your oil levels. If you notice that it is low, you should take your vehicle in for an inspection. Another sign you need oil is if you notice oil leaks on your driveway or garage floor. If your vehicle is blowing bluish smoke from the exhaust, you might be burning oil. Finally, if the check engine or oil light ignites, you should bring your vehicle to Marlow Motors CDJR for a service check.
What’s Included in an Oil Change With Us
At the Marlow Motors CDJR service center, we rely on the Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM maintenance schedule recommendations. If your owner’s manual calls for synthetic oil, that is what we will use after our techs drain your oil and change the filter.
During the oil change, our techs will conduct an inspection that includes looking at your vehicle’s air filter, wiper blades, and tire life. If anything needs replacing, we will let you know. A new air filter can help keep the cabin air clean when you run your heat or air conditioning. New wiper blades improve your visibility, and tire life can help keep your vehicle safely running on slippery pavement.
