Oil Change Service in Lanham, MD
Schedule Oil Change
Oil changes are necessary to keep your vehicle in good shape and running smoothly. Getting a routine oil change is important, as it protects the engine from friction and heat.
Q: How Often Do You Replace Your Oil?
A: That can be a point of contention. Many mechanics recommend changing your oil every 3,000 to 7,000 miles. Oil should be replaced regularly to ensure that it continues to function correctly. However, many variables, including your car's age, the environment you live in, and your driving habits, will influence how often you need an oil change.
Q: What Are The Warning Signs for An Oil Change?
A: You should be aware of numerous warning indicators when changing your oil. These are some of the warning signs you might notice:
- Oil that is thick and dark
- Oil change light is on
- Blue exhaust smoke
- Oil smell within the car
- Knocking or ticking engine noise
This can happen if you don't change the oil according to the suggested mileage guidelines. It's always preferable to follow your manufacturer's recommendations and change your oil accordingly.
Q: What Type of Oil Does My Car Need?
A: The type of oil required is determined by the vehicle's make and model and the manufacturer's recommendations. At DARCARS Ford of Lanham, our Oil Change service always considers manufacturer guidelines when offering you alternatives and recommendations for the type of oil used in your car.
