These Signs May Warrant an Oil Change

Given how high-tech modern cars are, it should come as no surprise that there are seemingly endless components that may alert you to a potential problem at various points. However, there are only a handful of signs you should keep an eye out for as you drive throughout the Lone Star State.

• A falling or low oil level may indicate that too much time has passed since your last oil change. In this case, oil levels will read well below the minimum standard on the car’s dipstick.
• Strange noises coming from the engine may represent either bad oil quality or low oil levels. These noises might be a hum or a slight rattle. This sign is the result of motor mechanics not receiving proper lubrication.
• If the check engine light keeps appearing on your dashboard, don’t ignore it. Although it can spur from various mechanical issues, one of the most common reasons relates to the quality of the oil or the oil level itself.

If you’re curious about these symptoms or any others, simply reach out to us, and we’ll help you diagnose the issue before you drop your car off at our service center.

Here’s How Often You Should Change Your Oil

Depending on the age of your sedan, truck, or SUV, oil change intervals will vary. The mechanics of older makes and models differ from modern vehicles, meaning you may need to more frequently or less frequently change your oil with a visit to our service center.

Typically, an oil change interval will range from every 5,000 miles to 7,500 miles. This number mostly depends on the type of motor oil you’re using, like synthetic-blend or full-synthetic. If you drive with the latter, your car may be able to go as far as 15,000 miles before it needs to be brought in for a change.
