Oil Change Intervals

3/12/2019 2:15:00 PM | (309) View Count | Return
We all know how good it feels after a little rest and relaxation, and your car should experience the same feeling. Oil changes are like a spa day for your car. Flushing out all the old oil, replacing air filters, and filling your vehicle back up with fresh, clean oil can improve your vehicle's performance—and when done regularly, can extend the life of your vehicle as well. Changing the oil regularly will help keep all your car’s moving parts well lubricated and working properly. 
 

Types of Oil

There are many different types of motor oil from which drivers can choose. However, to make sure you’re choosing the best option for your vehicle, it’s best to consult your owner’s manual. 
 
  • Full Synthetic
    • ○ For vehicles that demand peak level performance and lots of lubrication. 
  • Synthetic
    • ○ A combo of synthetic and conventional based oils—offers many of the same benefits of a full synthetic at a lower price. 
  • Conventional
    • ○ Most common. Best for light duty and late-model cars. 
  • High Mileage
    • ○ Specially designed for cars over 75,000 miles
 

Oil Change Intervals

Most technicians will recommend that you should have your oil changed every 3,000 - 5,000 miles, but that can vary based on individual driving habits. For the most accurate answer of when to change your oil, refer back to your owner’s manual. With United Tire, every oil change comes with your next oil change recommendation in mileage and date, so you know exactly when you should schedule your next visit—easy as pie. 
 

Why You Should Trust the Team at United Tire 

The teams of skilled technicians at all 13 United Tire and Service locations are more than your average mechanic. We are your friends, your community members, and your neighbors. That’s why so many drivers trust our team with their vehicle maintenance needs. Our team is equipped with the best automotive software technology that allows our technicians to go above and beyond your average oil change. 
 
We treat our customers with the highest level of respect and accommodation. We try to educate our customers every chance we can, even with something as simple as a routine oil change. Before we change your oil, we check the oil level. Some newer cars actually burn oil, not in the sense of fog out the exhaust pipe, but in a not-so-visual way. If a car carries 4 quarts of oil it’s possible for the car to burn an entire quart in less than 7000 miles. This leaves the car 25% low on oil, affecting engine life. This is important for a driver to know because it will affect how often they might need to come in for an oil change. 
We aim to send every customer home satisfied and smiling. We send out a reminder so customers know when they should come back for their next oil change. This keeps them on time for preventative maintenance.
