Chevrolet Oil Change Service near Vassar

Chevrolet Oil Change Service near Vassar, MI

Although it's easy to let time slip by without handling the necessary routine maintenance for your Chevrolet, we at McDonald Chevrolet would like to at least remind you to keep up with regular oil changes. This simple procedure takes no time at all, doesn't cost much, and will keep your ride running optimally for years to come.

How to Check Your Oil

If you can't remember when the last time was that you got an oil change, it's quite simple to figure out. Start by popping the hood and locating the dipstick. Typically, this will be a circular, yellow rod next to the powertrain. Go ahead and tug on it until the entire stick exits from the engine. Wipe off the oil and then insert it back into where it was. Give it a couple seconds to sit before pulling it out once more. From there, check where the oil level is on the bottom. If it's below the recommended amount, you'll want to stop by our shop immediately. If not, give the remaining oil a wipe on a clean white rag. If the residue is thick and dark, your oil will also need to be swapped out for a clean batch.

Oil Change Timeline

Although most experts agree that every three months is an adequate schedule for oil changes, that can change depending on your driving habits. The biggest factor influencing the lifespan is the number of miles you drive. If you're a person who often exceeds 3,000 miles on the odometer every few months, you might want to get your oil changed more regularly than others. That being said, you can also just monitor the level and condition of the oil as indicated in the prior paragraph to decide when a good time is to get this maintenance performed at our Service Department.
