Every vehicle will need an oil change, regardless of whether you do stop-go driving, short trips, long journeys, heavy loads, or towing. One of the easiest things you can do to maintain the condition of your vehicle is to keep a routine of oil changes and tune-ups.

A regular oil change in Whitby from M.R. Automotive helps keep your engine running smoothly and reduces wear and tear on parts. During the process, you’ll get a replaced oil filter, new and fresh oil, and a well-lubricated chassis.  Please contact us to schedule a tune-up or change in Whitby.

WHY YOU NEED AN OIL CHANGE

Excess particles are left behind in the engine as oil becomes saturated with pollutants over time. They can form deposits and cause substantial engine damage. Oversaturated oil loses its lubrication, resulting in an overworked engine, excessive heat, and eventual engine failure.

Excessive heat can cause a thermal breakdown in your engine oil, resulting in a change in viscosity and a reduction in oil flow. Similarly, unclean oil flows more slowly, requiring the engine to work more and wear out more quickly. Our service technicians will inspect and replace the oil filter during each oil change to keep your oil clean and contaminant-free.

Lubrication and oil changes regularly will keep your engine running stronger and longer. Contact us for your next lube, filter, and oil change in Whitby and surrounding areas.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST ENGINE OIL FOR YOUR CAR?

Choosing the right engine oil is crucial for maintaining your vehicle's performance and longevity. With numerous options available, here are some key factors to consider when selecting the best engine oil for your car:

 

  • Know your vehicle's requirements: Every car has specific oil requirements, usually detailed in the owner’s manual. These requirements include the oil's viscosity grade and any specific oil standards the manufacturer recommends. Using the correct type of oil ensures optimal engine performance and longevity.
     

  • Understand oil viscosity: Viscosity refers to the thickness of the oil and its ability to flow at different temperatures. A number, such as 5W-30, usually indicates the viscosity grade. The first indicates the oil's viscosity at low temperatures, while the second indicates its viscosity at high temperatures. Choosing the correct viscosity grade is essential for ensuring the oil provides adequate protection and performance.
     

  • Consider synthetic vs. conventional oil: Synthetic oils are chemically engineered for better performance and protection. They offer superior resistance to high temperatures and breakdown, better flow at low temperatures, and longer intervals between oil changes. However, they are typically more expensive. Conventional oils are derived from crude oil and are suitable for most standard engines. Consider your driving conditions and vehicle requirements when choosing synthetic and conventional oils.
     

  • Check for additives: Engine oils often contain additives that enhance their performance and protective qualities. Common additives include detergents, which help clean engine deposits, and anti-wear agents, which provide additional protection against engine wear. Look for oils with additives that match your driving needs.
     

  • Choose the right oil brand: Opting for reputable oil brands can ensure you receive a high-quality product that meets industry standards. Brands with a strong reputation are more likely to provide oils that offer better protection and performance.
     

  • Consider your driving conditions: Your driving habits and conditions can influence the type of oil you use. For instance, you might benefit from a high-performance synthetic oil if you frequently drive in extreme temperatures, tow heavy loads, or make short trips.

THE BENEFITS OF REGULAR OIL CHANGES

Changing your oil routinely is one of the critical components of vehicle maintenance. It is pivotal for keeping your vehicle running as it should, and it provides the opportunity to inspect its overall health. The following are some benefits of getting regular oil changes:

 

  • Keeps the engine clean: Over time, oil flowing from the various parts of your vehicle to the engine causes dirt buildup. Regular oil changes and filter replacements will keep this harmful dirt away from your engine.
     

  • Increases engine life: Oil lubricates your vehicle and protects it from wear and tear. Routine oil changes will protect your engine, prolonging its life by helping you prevent engine-related problems.
     

  • Improves gas mileage: A lack of oil changes can cause debris to build up, which causes friction inside your engine. Routine oil changes will help eliminate friction and improve engine performance while optimizing fuel economy.
