Oil Change & Maintenancein Philadelphia
Fresh oil, clean filters and a car that keeps running.
About this repair
Regular maintenance is the cheapest repair there is, and it is what keeps an engine out of the workshop for the big jobs. We change the oil and filter, check the fluids and look over the car so small things do not turn into big ones.
Signs you need it
- The oil change sticker or the maintenance light says it is time
- Dark, gritty oil on the dipstick
- The engine sounds louder or rougher than usual
- You have driven well past the interval in your owner's manual
Common questions
How often should I change my oil?
It depends on the engine, the oil and how you drive. Your owner's manual gives the interval for your car; short trips, heavy traffic and extreme heat or cold all call for changing it sooner.
Does synthetic oil matter?
Many modern engines require it, and it holds up longer under heat. We use the type your manufacturer specifies.
Bigger problem?
We also handle the heavy jobs
If the inspection finds something deeper, engine, transmission and drivetrain work is what we do best.
