Oil Change Service in Leamington, ON

Oil Change Maintenance at Leamington GM

Your engine oil is what keeps your engine, and your vehicle, working as it should. It acts as a lubricant and allows your engine to run without overheating, which can cause serious damage which can be costly to repair. Keeping your engine oil clean lets it do its part well, as contaminated or dirty engine oil is not as effective of a lubricant as clean engine oil. Depending on the type of engine oil that you use, it is best to change your engine oil every 5,000 km (for regular oil), every 7,500 km (for synthetic-blend oil), or every 10,000 km (for fully synthetic oil). This is why our team of trained technicians in our Service Department at Leamington GM offer oil changes to our GM drivers to help keep your vehicle properly maintained.

Read on as we cover how often to get your oil changed, and signs like dark, dirty, or thick engine oil that indicate it’s time to get your oil changed, as well as frequently asked questions about oil changes.

How Often Should Engine Oil Get Changed?

Because the engine oil is so important in keeping your engine components lubricated so that they both can run without creating friction, which causes the engine to overheat as well as take less wear and tear, it’s important to get it changed regularly. How often differs depending on which engine oil type you use in your GM vehicle, but falls into the following ranges:

– Regular Oil: Every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometres
– Synthetic-Blend Oil: Every 7,500 to 10,000 kilometres
– Fully Synthetic Oil: Every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres

Depending on your engine oil type, this usually translates to getting your oil changed once or twice a year. If you’re not sure if your engine oil needs changing, our trained technicians can help advise you after taking a look under the hood.
