Need a Lexus oil change? Our dealership is your destination for professional automotive service. When we conduct an oil change, we also provide several other important checkups to keep things running smooth. Learn about everything that's included with an oil change at Keyes Lexus.
Why Are Regular Oil Changes Important?
A regular oil change is one of the most important things you can do for your car. The process is straightforward and involves flushing out your car's old oil and replacing it with fresh oil. This maintains the ideal level of lubrication for your car's engine and its many fast-moving parts, and minimizes friction and the possibility of overheating.
The frequency of an oil change at our Van Nuys, CA, Lexus dealership depends on your car's mileage, how much you drive, where you drive, and the type of oil you use. We recommend synthetic oil, since it's more resistant to extreme temperatures and lasts longer. In normal circumstances, synthetic oil will allow you to drive up to 10,000 miles between oil changes.
What Happens if the Oil Isn't Changed Regularly?
If your car's oil isn't changed regularly, you'll notice various aspects of your vehicle's performance decline, including its fuel efficiency, acceleration, and ride comfort. Moreover, the longer the engine goes without fresh oil, the bigger the build-up of friction and the more worn-out the engine's components will become. This will eventually lead to overheating, and ultimately, complete engine failure.
What Else Is Included With an Oil Change?
In addition to changing the oil in your vehicle, our highly trained Lexus service team will run several other helpful procedures. For example, we'll top-off all of the fluids that need it, such as the windshield washer and the coolant levels. We'll also check and adjust the tire pressure-and if it's been more than 6,000 miles since your car's last tire rotation, we recommend getting a rotation right after your oil change. Finally, we'll conduct a multipoint inspection of high-usage components such as the brakes, battery, belts, and filters.
