Oil Change in Flat Rock MI

Why Do I Need an Oil Change?

Motor oil acts as a protective agent for your vehicle's engine and its key moving parts. It can limit or prevent corrosion and wear on the engine, helping it produce a safe and reliable performance.

Over time, the motor oil thins and creates a less robust layer that can lead to increased engine wear. Getting an oil change replenishes the motor oil in your vehicle.  

An oil change can take up to 45 minutes. During that time, a factory-certified technician drains the old motor oil and replaces the oil filter. They will also identify the correct motor oil for the engine and your driving needs, giving you the ability to drive with peace of mind.

When Do I Need an Oil Change?

If your weekends consist of short trips to Huroc Park, you may not need to schedule frequent oil changes. Drivers who don't put a lot of miles on their cars might only need to book an oil change every 12 months.

What if your weekends take you on road trips down I-75 or over the waters of the Detroit River? Drivers with schedules that include significant mileage may need to arrange an oil change more often. You can usually travel from 5,000 to 7,500 miles between oil change appointments.

Do you drive a high-performance vehicle along Gibraltar Road? If so, you could schedule an oil change every 7,500 to 15,000 miles, under normal driving conditions and using synthetic oil. High-performance engines may require full-synthetic motor oil that produces a longer-lasting armor for your vehicle.

If you aren't sure how often you need to schedule an oil change, consult with a factory-certified technician to learn when you should swing by a service center.
