Oil Change
Living and working in Los Angeles means you are going to be driving quite a bit. Since your car is one of your most important investments after your home, as well as your means to and from work and fun, you need to do what you can to extend the life of your engine. Changing your oil frequently will go far to keep your car running at peak performance, maximize the life of your engine, maximize horsepower and keep your engine running clean.
Preventative and regular maintenance is the best way to protect your investment. Tune-ups, oil changes, and rotating the tires will extend the life of your car and help you avoid expensive and avoidable repairs down the road. Oil changes in particular can help you avoid a host of problems and are probably the easiest and most important maintenance tasks you can have performed for your’s car engine. The oil in your car has a big job as your engine relies on the oil to keep all of its moving parts well lubricated. By not changing your oil on a regular basis, you not only run the risk of running low on oil, but you will be circulating dirty oil through the engine, and the results can and will be catastrophic. Running low on oil will cause the different parts of your engine to run together without lubrication. This could lead to the engine parts fusing together, breaking down, and ultimately breaking your engine. In addition to the oil lubricating the moving parts of your engine, the oil also has the job of cooling down the metal surfaces of your engine. Over time the oil ages and loses its ability to perform these functions properly and engine wear and tear and breakdown occurs.
You have no excuse not to have your oil changed on a regular basis when Fixcarnow is right in your neighborhood. Many customers are now questioning how often they should have their oil changed. While recommendations vary according to your automobile manufacturer and mechanic, we generally recommend you have your oil changed every 3000 – 5000 miles.
Another question we frequently hear is customers enquiring about what type of oil should be used. There are many different brands and types of oil available for car engines but we prefer the high quality of Castrol and Castrol Syntec. We made this determination based on a number of factors such as the size, type, working conditions and temperature ranges of the engines we service.
