Maintenance

Oil changes

Fresh oil keeps the engine's moving parts protected. An oil change drains the old oil, fits a new filter and refills with the grade your engine calls for.

Step by step

How we do it

An oil change, step by step: from the lift to handing the keys back
  1. Up on the lift

    The car goes up on the lift so the oil pan and the filter are easy to reach.

  2. Old oil out

    The drain plug comes out and the old oil drains into a pan.

  3. New filter

    The plug goes back in and the old filter is swapped for a new one.

  4. Fresh oil

    The car comes down and fresh oil, the grade your engine calls for, is poured in.

  5. Check the level

    The engine runs for a moment, then the level is checked on the dipstick.

  6. Reminder

    A reminder sticker for the next change goes on the windshield.

  7. Back to you

    The keys go back to you.
