Oil Changes Made Easy at Zimbrick Chevrolet

 

Why is getting my car's oil changed important?

Oil is the substance coating the moving parts of the engine. It's what ensures the engine stays cool and functions properly. So when your Chevrolet's oil quality is poor, the lack of lubrication in the engine can lead to serious damages. Regular oil changes prevents this from happening by providing the engine with fresh, high quality oil.

 

How do I know when my car needs an oil change?

While the frequency of oil changes depends on the make and model of your car, the standard is every 3,000 to 10,000 miles. However, if you experience any of these warning signs, see a technician immediately:

• The engine check light comes on.
• The oil is silty and dark brown or black.
• The engine runs louder tan usual.
• The oil levels are low.

 

 

How do I check the oil in my car myself?

Check your car's oil by following these steps:

• Turn the engine off and wait at least 10 minutes.
• Pop the hood and pull out the dipstick.
• Wipe the dipstick across lint-free cloth.
• Insert the dipstick back in the reservoir, then pull it out again.
• Check the end of the dipstick to determine your oil level.

 

Check the oil quality by looking at the oily film on the dipstick. If the oil is dark or silty with particles floating in it, it's time to have your car serviced.
