Oil Change
What is an Oil Change and Why Is It Important?
An oil change is just a simple swap of the old engine oil for a new blend. This is done by draining the old oil from your vehicle and replacing it, a fairly simple process that usually doesn't take more than 30 minutes at our dealership.
Routinely changing your oil provides fresh lubrication for the moving parts in your vehicle. The engine oil also acts as a filter for the engine, catch dirt and debris from the road that could otherwise be potentially harmful to your engine. Without proper lubrication, the engine's moving parts will grind on each other and can cause a buildup of heat that can lead to serious damage. We're happy to inspect your engine oil and determine if an oil change is necessary at this time!
Signs That You Need An Oil Change
As your engine oil reaches the end of its lifespan, there are a few signs that you should watch out for to indicate when you need to make an appointment. You can pop the hood of your Honda and check the engine oil yourself, but you need to make sure you recognize the difference between fresh engine oil and dirty. If the color is dark brown or black, this means that it needs to be changed. Likewise, if the engine oil is low, you should make an appointment with Basney Honda.
We also encourage you to call our service team if your vehicle's interior starts to smell oily or if you notice that you need to stop more often to fill up on gas, as engine oil is linked to the performance of your vehicle.
