Our prices are also a fantastic reason to visit Fixcarnow for an oil change. We’ve been in the car repair business for several decades, and our competitive pricing reflects our long-term stability in Santa Monica and the greater Los Angeles area. Another great reason to see Fixcarnow to have your car’s engine oil changed is the 16 point safety check our technicians perform with each and every service. These key 16 points we will check represent your first line of defense against wear and tear and surprise auto break down. An oil change at Fixcarnow includes five quarts of Castrol GTX motor oil or Castrol Syntec plus a new filter. We also check and fill engine fluids including coolant, brake fluid, battery fluid, power steering fluid, window washer fluid and transmission fluid. We check the condition of your brake pads and rotors. We check the condition of your belts and hoses, wiper blades, suspension system and air filter. We check and fill tire pressure. Lastly, we lube the chassis.
Having your car engine oil regularly changed is probably the easiest way to extend the life of your car’s engine. As oil ages, it picks up dirt and debris that are then circulated throughout the engine. It is these particulates that contribute to the breakdown and aging of your engine and its parts. Keeping your engine clean from this dirt is the best way to take care of your engine.
Many of our customers ask us how often they should have their engine oil changed. For a long time, consumers were urged to change their oil every 3000 miles. With the additives that are going into motor oil these days, oils are lasting longer and the need to have oil changed as frequently isn’t as great. However, even though some manufacturers are recommending going as long as 10,000 miles between oil changes, we do not recommend that you go such a distance. The ideal interval for oil changes is between every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. The old adage is that you can’t change your oil too often, but you can change it too infrequently. Be sure to stop by and see us for your oil change needs in Santa Monica. You’ll be glad you did!
