Common Oil Change Issues We Address
Dirty or Degraded Oil
Over time, engine oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt, metal particles, and combustion byproducts. Fresh oil restores proper lubrication and engine protection.
Oil Filter Replacement
Your oil filter traps contaminants before they can damage engine components. We replace the filter with every oil change to ensure maximum filtration efficiency.
Oil Leaks
During your oil change, we check for leaks from the oil pan gasket, valve cover, and other seals. Early detection prevents major problems and keeps your driveway clean.
Low Oil Level
Some engines consume oil between changes. We ensure your vehicle leaves with the correct oil level and can diagnose why your engine might be using excess oil.
Wrong Oil Type
Using the incorrect oil viscosity or type can harm your engine. We use only manufacturer-recommended oils to ensure optimal performance and protection.
Overdue Oil Changes
Extended intervals between oil changes accelerate engine wear. We help you get back on track with a fresh oil change and proper maintenance schedule.
Our Oil Change Process
Vehicle Check-In
When you arrive, we review your vehicle's maintenance history and discuss any concerns you may have. We verify the correct oil type and capacity for your specific vehicle.
Drain Old Oil
We safely raise your vehicle and drain the old oil completely. This removes contaminants and degraded oil that can no longer protect your engine properly.
Replace Oil Filter
The old filter is removed and replaced with a quality new filter. We ensure proper installation to prevent leaks and maintain optimal filtration.
Add Fresh Oil
We fill your engine with the exact amount and type of oil specified by your manufacturer. Premium oils are available for enhanced protection.
Multi-Point Inspection
While your vehicle is on the lift, we perform a complimentary inspection of belts, hoses, tires, brakes, and fluid levels to identify any potential issues.
Quality Verification
We check for leaks, verify proper oil level, reset your maintenance reminder, and provide documentation of the service for your records.

FAQs About Oil Change in New Chapel Hill
How often should I get an oil change?
Most modern vehicles need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles with conventional oil, or 7,500 to 10,000 miles with synthetic oil. However, driving conditions and manufacturer recommendations vary, so we'll help determine the best interval for your specific vehicle.
Should I use synthetic or conventional oil?
Synthetic oil provides better protection and longer intervals between changes, making it ideal for high-performance engines, extreme temperatures, or extended driving. We can recommend the best option based on your vehicle and driving habits.
How long does an oil change take?
A standard oil change at our shop typically takes 20-30 minutes. This includes draining the old oil, replacing the filter, adding fresh oil, and performing our complimentary multi-point inspection.
What happens if I delay my oil change?
Delaying oil changes causes oil to break down, reducing its ability to protect your engine. This leads to increased wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and potentially costly engine damage over time.
Do you service all vehicle makes and models?
Yes! Our experienced technicians service domestic and import vehicles of all makes and models. We stock a wide variety of oil types and filters to service virtually any vehicle.
