Buerkle Honda Oil Change FAQs
How often do I need an oil change?
A good rule of thumb for oil change intervals is to get an oil change at least once every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. Every vehicle is different, so referring directly to you owner’s manual is a smart decision, as is popping the hood yourself and seeing if your oil level is low or the oil itself is dark in color.
What does an oil change include?
During a routine, full-service oil change, your old oil is drained, the filter is replaced and then the oil is replaced to full capacity. This will be done in accordance with Honda recommendations and the type of oil that is best suited to your particular vehicle.
What’s the difference between synthetic and non-synthetic oil?
Synthetic oil is better for your engine than conventional or non-synthetic oil, enhancing overall engine performance and protection. Conventional oil still provides adequate lubrication for your powertrain, but synthetic oil will ultimately be the better choice for longevity and performance.
What happens if I don’t change my oil?
Going too long without getting an oil change could prove expensive or even result in your car becoming completely inoperable. An improperly lubricated engine could lead to a blown gasket, seized vehicle or other issues that will have you pulling to the side of the road and calling a tow truck. Don’t let that happen! Schedule oil change service at Buerkle Honda today.
How can I check my oil level?
After ensuring your engine is fully off, open the hood of your vehicle and find the dipstick. Pull the dipstick out and wipe the oil currently on it. Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out again, and examine how much oil is currently on it. Be sure to examine the color, too, as a darker color could indicate issues.
