Engine Car Oil and Filter Change

You should never underestimate the vital role of your car’s oil in keeping the engine running healthily. If you want to make sure your vehicle’s engine lasts for as long as possible, while delivering optimal power and fuel efficiency, you will need to ensure the oil and filter are replaced regularly. 

In fact, there’s no such thing as replacing your car engine oil and filter too frequently. So, this really is an example of how being highly diligent in looking after your vehicle can reap rewards. 

Look After Your Car with Our Help

The basic purpose of the oil in your car’s engine is to act as a lubricant, helping to keep the internal components moving with as little resistance as possible. This will help minimise wear and damage on each of the engine’s moving parts. 

Here at Advanced Service Centre, we realise that you might be aware of the importance of having your car engine oil and filter replaced from time to time, but you might struggle to get round to doing it. 

So, why not book in your engine oil and filter change right now at our garage in Laindon, Essex, for your utmost peace of mind? 

Three Vital Key Steps

Don’t run the risk of your car grinding to a halt at the worst possible time, simply because you “didn’t get round to” replacing your engine oil and filter before the worst had the chance to happen. 

Instead, be alert to these three crucial steps: 

• Keep An Eye Out for Acute Issues 

There are certain classic signs that a vehicle might need to have its oil and filter changed shortly. On most vehicles, there will be an engine warning light to alert the driver to the oil levels running low. 

However, there could be other concerning signs, such as the exhaust producing an excessive amount of dirty smoke, the engine being abnormally loud, and/or a ticking sound when the engine is started. 

If you are in any doubt about the cause of these issues, please don’t hesitate to contact experts like our own professionals at Advanced Service Centre. 

• Establish A Routine for Checking and Replacing the Oil 

Presuming your vehicle isn’t showing any acute signs of low oil levels such as those stated above, you should have a proactive regime of arranging oil and filter changes. 

Although it is typically recommended by manufacturers and motoring experts that a car’s engine oil be replaced every 12 months, this is not a hard-and-fast rule that applies in every case. For higher-mileage vehicles, for example, more frequent changes are likely to be needed. 

Regardless, you should be checking your vehicle’s oil at least once a month, to help ensure it does not fall below the minimum level recommended by the manufacturer. 

• Get In Touch with Our Oil and Filter Change Experts 

Even when it comes to something as apparently “simple” as an oil and filter change, it can be understandably easy to become confused. So, if you have any questions or concerns about any aspect of your vehicle’s engine oil or filter, please don’t hesitate to contact us in Laindon. 

Neglecting or overlooking your car’s engine oil situation could heighten the risk of avoidable damage being caused to your vehicle’s system. This is because, over time, your car’s oil filter will pick up more and more contaminants, until eventually, oil will not be freely flowing in good condition throughout the engine. 

So, you should never underestimate the importance of professional car servicing and engine oil and filter replacement. Book online today to arrange for a mechanic to look at your car, or contact us by phone or email if you have any further queries.
