Is Your Car’s Oil Ready for Holiday Travel?

Dec 17, 2024 | Vehicle Maintenance

There’s nothing quite like hitting the open road during the holiday season. But before you load up the car and hit the highways, it’s important to ask yourself, is your car truly ready for the trip? A well-maintained vehicle is the key to a smooth, stress-free holiday adventure, and one of the most critical aspects of your car’s health is oil care.

1. Have Your Oil Level Checked

Our technicians will not only confirm that your oil is at the right level but also use manufacturer-approved oil to precisely match your vehicle’s needs. Why take a chance on mistakes or messes when expert care guarantees accuracy?

2. Get a Detailed Oil Quality Assessment

It’s hard to tell sometimes, does the oil look clean enough, or should it be changed? Our trained team can quickly and thoroughly assess your oil’s condition to see if it’s smooth and amber or if it’s time for a replacement. We don’t just eyeball it; our process ensures your engine is protected with the proper lubricant, reducing wear and tear for the long haul.

3. Leave the Oil Filter to the Experts

Replacing an oil filter yourself can be tricky and messy. An old or clogged filter can restrict oil flow and harm your engine, especially during a long trip. When you bring your car to our shop, we don’t just replace the oil; we also swap out the oil filter with one designed to maximize your engine’s performance and lifespan. It’s all part of a comprehensive service.

4. Trust the Pros to Monitor Oil Pressure

Ever seen that oil pressure warning light pop up on your dashboard? It’s not something to ignore, but figuring out what’s causing it can be challenging without the right tools. At our family-owned shop, we’ll diagnose any oil system issues before they become bigger problems, giving you peace of mind before you hit the road.
