Importance of lube, oil, and filter replacement
There are a number of preventative services recommended by vehicle manufacturers to help ensure optimum performance of your vehicle. These services can also elongate the lifespan of your vehicle when done regularly as recommended.What are the functions of lube, oil, and filter replacement?
The oil performs two major functions: lubricating the engine components and acting as a cooling agent inside the engine. The engine has a lot of moving parts that generate a lot of heat due to friction, thereby requiring the use of oil to reduce the friction and to also cool the parts. In addition, the oil also traps harmful particles which are byproducts of combustion, and directs them to the oil filter which then prevents them from flowing into the engine compartment. Thus, the oil and oil filter are important for the smooth running of your engine.
Over time, you will need to change the oil and the oil filter of your vehicle and this task is best left to trained experts like those on our staff. We will ensure that we follow the recommendations of the manufacturer when changing the oil, filter, and lube of your vehicle, leaving you with a properly lubricated and clean engine at the end of the service.

The advantages of lube, oil, and filter replacement
If the engine oil is not changed regularly, it will have way too many contaminants in it which can then be deposited in the engine, thereby affecting its performance. The oil will also lose its lubricating power which can result directly in overheating and eventual failure of the engine. In addition, the engine will be made to work harder than it needs to when the oil is dirty, has a reduced viscosity, and flows too slowly.
Our service staff will ensure that the oil filter of your vehicle is replaced with each oil change and will ensure that you leave with your engine running better, longer, and stronger. Contact us today and schedule your lube, oil, and filter change.
