This is one of the most common questions vehicle owners ask, as oil change intervals vary based on driving habits, vehicle type, and oil used. Most manufacturers recommend changing oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for conventional or synthetic blend oils, or up to 10,000 miles for full synthetic oils under normal conditions. At DuPage Auto & Truck Repair, we tailor recommendations to your specific vehicle and driving style, ensuring optimal engine health and performance.
People often wonder about the risks of delaying an oil change, and the answer highlights its importance. Skipping an oil change can lead to dirty, sludgy oil that fails to lubricate engine parts, causing increased wear, overheating, and even engine failure over time. Our service at DuPage Auto & Truck Repair includes draining old oil and replacing it with fresh oil to prevent these costly issues, keeping your engine running smoothly.
Customers want to know what they’re paying for, and a quality oil change goes beyond just swapping oil. At DuPage Auto & Truck Repair, we drain the old oil, replace the oil filter, install a new drain plug gasket, and add manufacturer-recommended oil, while also checking fluids, inspecting the air filter, and performing a visual safety check of belts and brakes. This comprehensive approach ensures your vehicle gets the care it deserves.
Confusion about oil types—conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic—is common, and using the wrong one can affect performance. Your vehicle’s manual specifies the best oil type and viscosity (e.g., 5W-30), and at DuPage Auto & Truck Repair, we use only the manufacturer-recommended oil to maintain warranty compliance and maximize engine efficiency. We’re happy to explain your options during your visit!
