The Importance of Getting an Oil Change
Everyone in Redding knows that routine oil changes
are essential, but they may not know when to get an oil change and why. Motor
oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle. It reduces friction and heat in your
engine to keep it running at it's best. As time goes on, engine particles and
debris start to make the oil dirty, making it less effective at reducing
friction and heat.
If Shasta Lake drivers wait too long before getting
an oil change, the engine and its components will start to warp and get
damaged. Regular oil changes are much less expensive than replacing engine
parts or the entire engine.
Most vehicles require an oil change between 3,000
and 6,000 miles. Engine technology, oil type, and driving habits will alter
when exactly your vehicle will need an oil change. Consult your owner's manual
and work with our service team to determine the best interval for changing your
oil.
Brake Service for Safety and
Performance
Red Bluff drivers will likely need to change their
brake pads between 20,000 and 30,000 miles. That being said, it's not always a
pre-determined interval. How hard you brake, how much you drive, and whether
you tow or haul can all factor into when you need brake service. Some of the
top indicators that suggest that you need brake service include:
- Scraping or screeching when
braking
- Jittery braking
- Spongy brake pedal
If you are experiencing any of these red flags, our
service team can help with everything from replacing brake pads to repair
rotors. Having properly functioning brakes make all the difference in your
vehicle's safety and performance.
