Efficient Oil Changes for a Smooth-Running Engine

Q: When does my vehicle need an oil change?

The general rule of thumb is every 3,000 miles or every 3 months, whichever comes first. However, due to advances in engines and oil, you can change your oil beyond that in newer vehicles. Your vehicle should have an oil percentage meter that you can follow. Schedule an oil change before that hits 0% oil life remaining.

Q: What is included in an oil change?

Farmward technicians will do more than drain and replace your engine oil. You'll get filter replacement, brake checks, fluid top-off, and a thorough 19-point inspection where they visually inspect wiper blades, tire tread, lights, air filter, battery, air filter and more.

Q: What type of oil does my vehicle need?

Check the owner's manual in your vehicle for the recommended viscosity rating. The two most common weights are SAE 5@-30 and SAE 10W-30. Full synthetic oils provide better engine performance than convention and synthetic blend motor oils.

Is your engine suffering from neglect? Dirty oil reduces fuel efficiency and engine performance, neglected oil changes can lead to costly engine damage, and ignoring oil maintenance can void your vehicle's warranty. Don't let engine problems disrupt your daily routine. Trust Farmward Auto Shops for your car's oil change needs. We'll make sure it is done right.

Oil Change FAQs

How long does an oil change take?

Typically, an oil change takes about 30-45 minutes. The process includes draining out the existing oil and changing the oil filter, then placing new oil into the engine. After this has been completed, our Farmward technicians perform a 19-point vehicle inspection to make sure everything looks right.
