Why Regular Oil Changes Matter

Your engine’s longevity and performance depend on the quality of its motor oil. Over time, motor oil tends to degrade and accumulate debris, reducing its effectiveness in providing adequate lubrication and safeguarding the engine’s essential parts. This reduces engine performance, lowers fuel efficiency, and can even cause engine damage.

 

Staying on track with oil changes helps in many ways:

  • Extends engine life

  • Improves vehicle performance

  • Prevents costly repairs

  • Better fuel efficiency

 

Skipping oil changes may lead to sludge buildup, increased friction, and overheating. To avoid unnecessary problems, don’t forget to schedule your next oil change.

 

That’s where we step in. At Jensen Auto Service, we understand the significance of regular oil changes for your car’s engine. Our mission is to change your oil and protect your car’s engine. Regularly changing your oil can increase the engine’s lifespan and fuel efficiency.

Choosing the Right Oil for Your Vehicle

Not every vehicle uses the same type of engine oil. The right choice can depend on the vehicle’s age, mileage, engine design, driving habits, and the manufacturer’s recommendations for that specific model. Using the correct oil helps support proper lubrication and protection between oil change services.

 

Our Jensen Auto Service team can help determine which option makes the most sense for your vehicle and your typical driving conditions.

  • Conventional oil: A standard option for many vehicles and everyday driving conditions. It can be a practical choice for engines designed to use conventional oil and for drivers who stay on top of their recommended oil change interval.

  • Synthetic blend oil: Combines conventional and synthetic oils to provide added protection and performance compared with conventional oil alone. It can be a good middle-ground option for drivers looking for additional protection without moving to a full synthetic product.

  • Full synthetic oil: Designed to maintain its protective properties across a wider range of temperatures and demanding driving conditions. A synthetic oil change may be recommended for many newer vehicles or for engines that require synthetic oil based on manufacturer specifications.

  • High-mileage oil: Formulated for vehicles with higher mileage and may include additives designed to support aging seals and help reduce oil consumption or minor leaks. Whether high-mileage oil is appropriate depends on the condition of the engine and the vehicle’s maintenance history.

 

Our team can accommodate different vehicle requirements and customer preferences while making sure the oil used is appropriate for the engine. As part of the oil change service, we can also handle oil filter replacement and check related fluid levels during the vehicle inspection.

Don’t Forget Your Oil Filter!

During an oil change, it’s essential to replace your vehicle’s oil filter. The oil filter traps contaminants and debris that can accumulate in the oil over time. By regularly replacing the oil filter, you can ensure your engine receives clean oil, free of harmful particles that could otherwise cause damage.

 

An oil change from Jensen Auto Service includes replacing the old engine oil and installing a new oil filter as part of the service. We use quality filters that match your vehicle’s needs, helping keep contaminants out of the fresh oil and supporting proper engine protection between oil changes.

What’s Included in Our Oil Changes

At Jensen Auto Service, our oil change process is a seamless and efficient journey that leaves your car running smoothly and your mind at ease. Take a closer look at what you can expect during your oil change service with us:

Oil Specification Check: Before we get started, our technicians confirm what type and viscosity of oil your vehicle calls for. We check the manufacturer specifications and consider the engine and mileage so the oil change service matches your vehicle’s needs.

Oil Drain and Filter Replacement: With precision and care, our expert auto technicians and machinists will drain the old motor oil from your car and properly dispose of the used oil and the old oil filter according to local environmental regulations. We then add fresh new oil and check the oil level to ensure your engine has the proper amount. Most vehicles require up to five quarts of motor oil, but some high-mileage vehicles might need slightly more. Simultaneously, we will replace the oil filter with a brand-new one, which acts as a safeguard, providing optimum engine protection against contaminants and debris.

Selecting the Right Oil: Your vehicle deserves the best, including the right motor oil. Based on our inspection results and your preferences, our auto technicians and machinists will recommend the most suitable oil for your engine. Whether it’s conventional oil for everyday driving, synthetic oil for ultimate protection, or a synthetic blend to balance the two, we tailor our recommendations to meet your needs.

Fluid Top-Offs and More: In addition to ensuring your oil level is adequate, we take the time to top off other essential fluids in your vehicle. From coolant to washer fluid, we ensure that all vital fluids are at their optimal levels. We can also check your vehicle’s wiper blades, vehicle lights, and even battery condition as needed so you leave with your vehicle operating safely.

The Right Time For An Oil Change Service: Consult Our Experts

Every vehicle has an owner’s manual outlining the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule, including oil change intervals. At Jensen Auto Service, we understand that you may be uncertain about the ideal time for an oil change. It is generally recommended to have your oil changed between 3,000 and 5,000 miles, depending on the type of oil and your vehicle’s make and model. For an accurate estimate, refer to your owner’s manual or seek guidance from our team of experts.

Beyond Oil Change Services

At Jensen Auto Service, we go beyond the standard oil change. Our oil change service is designed to provide your vehicle with the care it truly deserves. When you entrust your car to us, our skilled auto technicians and machinists do more than just change your oil; they conduct a thorough inspection, which includes a safety inspection.

 

During this inspection, we also examine vital components like the air filter, lights, brakes, and other safety-related components, as well as checking fluid levels. If necessary, we can perform additional maintenance tasks, such as tire rotation, to ensure even tire wear and prolong the life of your tires. Our goal is to ensure that your car operates smoothly, catch any potential engine problems before they become expensive repairs, and guarantee your safety on the road.

 

In addition, we utilize DVI (digital vehicle inspection) technology. Jensen Auto Service employs AutoVitals to send you a text with a digital format of your inspection, complete with pictures and detailed descriptions. This allows you, as our valued customer, to review and understand the state of your vehicle with utmost clarity and transparency.
