Oil Change in Newport News, VA

When should you get an oil change?

Time Interval:  Generally, it's recommended to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on your vehicle's make and model. Regular oil changes ensure optimal engine performance and lubrication.

Oil Condition:  If you notice dark, dirty, or sludgy oil on the dipstick, it's a clear indicator that it's time for an oil change. Dirty oil can't provide the necessary lubrication, leading to increased friction and potential engine damage.

Warning Lights: If your vehicle's oil change indicator light or "check engine" light illuminates, it's essential to bring your car in for an oil change as soon as possible. Ignoring these warnings can lead to severe engine issues.

The oil change process at Pro Auto Diagnostics & Repairs:

Vehicle Inspection:  Our skilled technicians will perform a comprehensive inspection to assess your vehicle's condition, including checking the oil levels, examining the oil filter, and identifying any potential leaks or other issues.

Drain and Replace: After draining the old oil, we'll replace it with fresh, high-quality oil that meets or exceeds your manufacturer's specifications. We use premium-grade oils to ensure optimal engine performance and protection.

Filter Replacement:  Along with the oil change, we will also replace your vehicle's oil filter. The filter traps impurities and contaminants, preventing them from circulating through the engine and causing damage.

Fluid Level Check: As part of our service, we'll check other vital fluid levels, including coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid, to ensure your vehicle's overall health and safety.
