Oil Change at Home in Raleigh, NC
When it’s time for an oil change, it’s essential to use the motor oil specified by your vehicle manufacturer. The oil change process remains the same regardless of the type, make, or model.
During an oil change, our technician will:
Replace the vehicle’s motor oil with the recommended type.
Replace and properly dispose of the used oil filter.
Inspect other filters (like the cabin and air filters).
Top off essential fluids.
Engine oil is crucial for your vehicle’s performance, and neglecting it can lead to significant engine problems later on.
Why Oil is Important:
Engine oil has a limited lifespan and can become contaminated over time. Exposure to heat, moisture, and air causes the oil to thicken and turn into sludge, preventing it from effectively lubricating the engine.
Key Components:
- Oil Pan: Holds the oil before it circulates through the engine.
- Oil Pump: Creates pressure to push oil to moving parts. A failure here can lead to overheating and lack of lubrication.
- Oil Filter: Captures harmful deposits and metal particles from the oil.

How to Check Your Oil:
- Park on a level surface and wait for the engine to cool.
- Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it.
- Check the oil level against the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick.
- If the oil looks white and creamy, it indicates moisture and should be changed immediately.
- Add oil as needed, then recheck the level.
- Changing your oil and filter every 3,000 miles is recommended to maintain peak engine performance.
