Perhaps the most frequent (and arguably most important) maintenance a Chevy dealer does to keep your vehicle working smoothly is to regularly change your car’s oil. Let’s talk about what a Chevy oil change process is like.
Why Does My Chevy Need Oil Changes?
Keeping your engine’s parts moving smoothly is the job of motor oil, which also protects the engine from overheating or wearing out. The oil filter helps keep that engine oil clean, removing small particulates that would otherwise build up as sludge.
Every motor oil has a designated lifespan, measured both in months and in miles. It’s important to change the oil at whichever milestone passes first; if your oil is only good for six months, you should change it at the six-month mark even if it’s under its mileage limit.
Should I Get Synthetic Oil?
Your car’s manual will list what type of oil is best for your vehicle, and may specify whether it requires either conventional or synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is typically rated for a longer time and higher mileage before needing to be changed, though it is typically more expensive than conventional oil. Your best bet is to consult with your owner’s manual and your Chevy-certified technician to decide what’s best for you and your Chevy.
What Happens During an Oil Change?
When you bring your Chevy in for an oil change, our service professionals will take great care of it. Our team will lift your car and visually inspect it for leaks. Then they’ll drain the used oil from your car, remove the old filter, and replace it with a fresh and clean one. Then our team will fill your car up with the oil of your choice.
But that’s not all. Our team will not only rotate your tires to ensure they wear evenly, but also perform a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection, doing things like checking your headlights, inspecting your brakes, and topping up your car’s fluids. We’ll also check your car’s battery condition and connections, inspect your wiper blades and the condition of your glass, and make sure your tires are in good shape.
Regular oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections are crucial to keeping your Chevy healthy. Now it’s time to schedule your next oil change at Hansen Motor Co in Brigham City, UT, and have our helpful staff give your Chevy the maintenance it needs to keep running smoothly for years to come.
