One of the essential preventative maintenance services to help your vehicle run better for longer is having the oil and filter changed regularly. At Tireland, we offer comprehensive oil change services to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently. You can bring your vehicle in for its regular oil change and enjoy peace of mind on the road.
Why Are Oil Changes Important?
Drivers in Tireland know how easy it is to add miles to a vehicle, making regular oil changes critical for long-term engine health. Engine oil prevents the moving parts in your engine from grinding against each other, acting as a lubricant and cooling agent. As the engine heats up, oil absorbs combustion by-products, which are then filtered out, ensuring clean, contaminant-free oil flows through the engine. Regular oil changes improve fuel economy and reduce engine wear, which is especially beneficial for the varied driving conditions in Tireland. Most vehicles require an oil change every 3,000 – 5,000 miles, but it’s best to check your owner’s manual for the correct interval.
How Do You Check Your Oil?
To check your oil, follow these steps:
- Turn off your vehicle and ensure it is parked on level ground.
- Open your hood.
- Locate the dipstick (it has a large loop on the end).
- Pull out the dipstick.
- Wipe it clean with a rag.
- Reinsert the dipstick into the reservoir.
- Pull it out again.
- Look at the level indicator to confirm if the oil is between the maximum and minimum levels. If it’s below the minimum, add oil and bring your vehicle to Tireland so we can check for any issues causing low oil levels.
- Check the oil color. Amber to dark brown means it’s still in good condition, while black or sludgy oil indicates it’s time for an oil change.
Other Signs You Need an Oil Change
- Oil Change Light – If the oil change light on your dashboard is illuminated, it indicates that you're due for an oil change or your oil level is low.
- Overheating Engine – Dirty or low oil levels can cause your engine to overheat and stop functioning properly.
- Unusual Engine Noises – Tapping, knocking, or grinding sounds can indicate low oil levels or insufficient lubrication.
- Oil Leaks Under Your Car – If you see oil puddles under your car, this could indicate an oil leak. Bring your vehicle to Tireland immediately for inspection.
What Happens During an Oil Change?
During an oil change, our team at Tireland will remove the old motor oil and replace it with fresh oil suited to your vehicle’s needs. We offer several types of oils, including full synthetic, synthetic blend, conventional, and high-mileage motor oils, and we’ll determine the best option for your vehicle. We’ll also lubricate the chassis components according to manufacturer specifications and replace the oil filter for optimal performance.
Oil Filters
The oil and oil filter work together to keep your engine running efficiently. The oil filter removes debris, such as dirt and carbon deposits, from the oil that lubricates your engine’s moving parts. It captures foreign particles before they can enter the engine, collecting billions of particles over time. As it becomes clogged, the oil filter should be replaced during each oil change to maintain engine health.
After every lube, oil, and filter change at Tireland, we ensure your engine oil is clean and that all moving parts operate smoothly, helping you drive confidently.
