What happens during an oil change?

An oil change is an essential routine maintenance service that’s necessary to keep your car’s engine working properly. Motor oil must be changed at regular intervals. As the oil ages, it breaks down and loses its ability to prevent sludge from forming. When you visit the Edmark Toyota Service Center for oil change service near Caldwell, our service technicians will drain the old oil, add fresh oil, and replace the engine oil filter.

How often should I change the oil?

This depends on the vehicle you own. Most automakers recommend changing the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. The manufacturer’s recommendations are listed in the owner’s manual. If you’re unable to locate the manual, call us. We’ll let you know when to bring your vehicle in for its next oil change service.

What if I don’t drive my car frequently?

If you don’t drive your car often, a good rule of thumb is to change the oil every six months to prevent undue engine wear. Some automotive enthusiasts suggest that for very low-mileage situations, annual changes may be sufficient. When you visit the Edmark Toyota Service Center for oil change service, our expert technicians will change the oil and replace the oil filter.

What is severe driving?

When you review your car’s owner’s manual, you may see two sets of oil change intervals listed: one for everyday driving and another for severe driving conditions. Most owners should follow the normal intervals, but you might be surprised to learn that many drivers fall under the severe category. Follow the severe intervals if you drive in one or more of these conditions in a typical week:

  • You drive in cold weather of 10 degrees or less.
  • You drive in hot weather over 90 degrees.
  • You drive in areas with high humidity.
  • You tow a trailer or haul heavy loads.
  • You go for many short drives of less than five miles.
  • Your car spends time idling in stop-and-go traffic.

Are oil changes costly?

The cost of an oil change varies depending on the kind of oil your vehicle requires. Synthetic oil is more expensive than other types of oil. Synthetic blends are more economically priced than synthetic oil, and conventional oil is the most cost-effective. No matter which type of oil your car uses, you’ll always get competitive pricing at the Edmark Toyota Service Center. Check our website for our current service specials to save even more.
