There are a number of places around town that offer oil change services. But how do you know that when you are getting an oil change, you aren’t just getting the bare minimum? Your vehicle is important, so at Tire Pros & Wheel Experts, we want to make sure you’re getting the services your car needs when you get your oil changed. Oil change services should offer the following services:

Change Your Oil

Of course, when you get an oil change, the automotive experts will change your oil. Your car needs new oil every 3,000-5,000 miles, depending on your vehicle make, model, and your driving habits. Your oil lubricates important parts of your engine, and over time your oil gets old and dirty and can’t properly lubricate those moving parts. Regular oil changes help extend the life of your vehicle and will save you money down the road.

Change The Oil Filter

Over time, your oil filter will also need to be changed due to the amount of dirt and debris that accumulates within the filter. After a while, your oil filter won’t sufficiently keep that dirt and debris out of your oil, which creates dirty and sludgy oil. This impacts your vehicle’s performance. Your automotive service professionals should change your oil filter when you get your oil changed.

Air Filter Inspection

If your air filter is dirty, that means it’s doing its job. However, if your air filter has accumulated too much debris, it may be time for a new air filter. The professionals at Tire Pros & Wheel Experts will visually inspect your air filter and let you know if you could benefit from a new one.

Fluid Checks and Top-Offs

Any of the fluids under your car’s hood should be checked and topped off, like your windshield wiper fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. When you get your oil changed, that’s one less thing for you to worry about when you consider your vehicle maintenance checklist!

Lubricating Fittings

We will lubricate all fittings, helping to ensure your vehicle is able to safely operate when you’re going from Point A to Point B. Lubrication is an important part of keeping the parts under your hood functioning.

Check Under The Hood

Any punctures to your engine could be very damaging to your vehicle. We will check your engine for any punctures and make you aware of any concerns regarding your engine or under your hood. We will also inspect your belts and hoses to ensure your parts are moving properly.

Check Tire Pressure

Driving around with low tire pressure can be dangerous. In order for your tires to get as much mileage as possible, a vehicle owner needs to properly care for the tires. Keeping them inflated to the recommended PSI is one important aspect. If your tires are balding, it’s time to get new tires. During your oil change, we will check your tire’s PSI and determine if your tires should be filled up to your car’s recommended PSI. 

Check Vehicle Undercarriage

We will also check your vehicle’s undercarriage and look for any potential issues that may be interfering with your vehicle’s operation. Frequent car washes are recommended to help keep your car clean top to bottom.
