Oil Changes in Littleton, CO
We encourage our customers to get regular oil changes at South Park Tire & Auto Center in Littleton because regular preventive maintenance is the key to keeping your vehicle running efficiently for the long term. Our ASE-certified auto mechanics and expert technicians can change your oil quickly and correctly, allowing you to get back to your regular schedule.
Why Your Oil Needs Changing
Your engine oil lubricates the engine’s moving parts, helping reduce friction when metal parts rub against one another. The engine’s heat and other issues cause the oil to deteriorate over time, resulting in the oil not lubricating the engine as well. With time and use, the oil also begins to break down, forming particles that even the best oil filter cannot remove. If you do not change your oil as needed, it will result in premature engine wear that shortens the life and efficiency of your engine. Regular oil changes eliminate these issues.
Oil Change Frequency
Engine oil is available in conventional, semi-synthetic, and synthetic types, which vary in price and how many miles you can drive before replacing the oil. You should use the oil type and change your oil based on your vehicle's manufacturer’s recommendation, ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 miles. Oil life information on your instrument panel can also be helpful, especially for drivers driving fewer miles than most. Following the manufacturer’s oil change recommendations helps minimize potential engine damage and ensures you remain within the warranty requirements.
Oil Change Process
We recommend having the South Park Tire & Auto Center team provide your regular oil changes. Having our skilled technicians change your oil means we can spot problems and make you aware of issues that need service to avoid future and more significant problems.
During the oil change process, we drain the old oil from your engine before disposing of it in an environmentally appropriate manner. We also replace your old oil filter with a new one before adding the correct amount of fresh oil of your requested type.
Once your engine oil is topped off, we start the engine to double-check our work and ensure your engine and vehicle are working correctly and are ready to get back on the road.
