Affordable Oil Change Services at M & R Automotive

BY: Henry Ma, M & R Automotive
We use top-quality oil from quart bottles. The oil changer places take oil from a huge container that gets refilled maybe monthly. It always sits open to the elements, getting hydrated and oxidized. The oil changer shops employ people with little training beyond changing the oil and filter. Our technicians will inspect your car thoroughly for leaks, loose connections, and parts in danger of failing while your vehicle is up in the air. We will grease the suspension and driveline grease fittings. Both time and use degrade motor oil. Your car's oil needs to be changed on mileage or when time has passed. Engine oil collects harmful particles too small to be removed by the filter. Over time exposure to air changes oil's chemical structure, making it less efficient at lubricating your engine. Guidance regarding oil changes is in your owner's manual. It will advise intervals for oil changes and other preventative services to ensure reliable transportation. The service reminders from the car's computer are a great convenience. They monitor the miles a vehicle has traveled since the last service and track how stressful these miles have been. Following service, these reminders need to be reset, and at Fremont Foreign, before your vehicle is released, we take pride in changing the service reminders. We recommend you check the oil level of a new-to-you car every other gasoline fill-up. After a time, you will get a feel for how often to add a quart. Some vehicles will go from oil change to oil change without burning oil; others need a quart every 500 miles. Don't assume that you are relieved from this duty because you have a new car. Many newer cars need oil added between changes. Printed on the oil filler cap will be the weight of your car's motor oil; the owner's manual will list it too. Unlike the oil changers, M & R Automotive will not upsell you into synthetic oil if there is no need. If your engine were designed to use synthetic oil, your owner's manual would tell you. Otherwise, it's a waste of money. Unlike oil changers, we use original equipment or premium-grade oil filters. Budget filters may disintegrate if you go long periods between changes and clog your lubrication system. Synthetic oil was designed for jet engines that run at 1000 degrees, so the heat your car can generate will not break down synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is your best choice if you live in a region with frigid winters, sweltering summers or if you use your vehicle for towing or hauling heavy material. You must not extend oil changes beyond the manufacturer's recommendation. Synthetic oil can resolve sludge issues; some Volkswagen and Toyota models have this problem. Sludge can clog your lubrication system, leading you to an engine rebuild. We will give you expert advice on the type of oil to use and how often to change it.
