Avoid Cheap Oil Changes!

You look up at the sticker in the window of your car and notice you've just ticked over the recommended oil change mileage for your vehicle. So, now you start thinking about where to take your vehicle for the oil change. You drive past a discount oil change location, offering you an oil change for under $20 total. It looks pretty good, and besides, it is just oil, why should you pay more for a job that takes five minutes to complete? Well, while it might just seem like oil, there are other jobs at hand that occur during oil changes. That is why you need to avoid these discount oil services as you are likely being short changed.

More Than Oil

Oil changes are more than just changing the oil. It also requires changing the oil filter of your vehicle. As oil flows through your engine, it collects small particles. In order to remove these small particles, the oil filter collects these items, preventing it from clogging up inside of the engine, similar to a water filter preventing minerals from moving into your drinking water. Discount oil changes typically leave the filter in place. This can cause a reduction in your oil flow while also allowing the debris to stay inside of your engine. The oil filter costs a few bucks more but it needs to be replaced.

Air Filter

Around the same time you change your oil and oil filter, you should change the air filter as well. Again, this item just costs a few bucks and takes a minute to replace. However, it keeps the air flow into your engine clean while also allowing your vehicle to runs smoothly. All of this is about your engine and keeping it working as it should. To do this, you need to ditch the discount oil joints.
