17 Mar Take My Car to a Full Service Repair Shop to Get My Oil Changed or NOT? That is The Question!
Oil changes in today’s world are totally under rated. People do not understand how important an oil change is and how valuable it is to your vehicle and that is why I am going to outline some very important facts telling you exactly why an oil change should not cost $12.95 and why your oil change is not something you should take lightly.
In broad terms, I will do this by comparing “cheap oil change” to “professional oil change” and I will outline the reasons why professional services like Metric Wrench do
not charge such low fees and why you should invest in a professional oil change.
Why change your oil?
“Clean” oil is the life-blood of any engine and changing it and the oil filter frequently is what keeps the vehicle’s engine running smoothly and efficiently, mile after mile. Using the proper oil and changing it regularly can also improve fuel consumption by up to 2%.
However, when vehicles were tested during the Car Care Council’s National Car Care Month, over thirty percent of vehicles failed inspections because they had low, overfull, or dirty engine oil.
Failure to change the oil and filter routinely often causes increased oil consumption, increased fuel consumption, premature engine wear, major repairs and in extreme cases, engine failure. Make sure you change your oil to maintain a healthy engine. Metric Wrench understands how important Oil Changes are for your engine’s performance.
