Expert Oil Change Services at Promex Auto: Keeping Your Engine Running Smoothly

At Promex Auto, we understand the importance of regular oil changes in maintaining the health and performance of your vehicle’s engine. Our technicians are dedicated to providing high-quality oil change services to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.

The Benefits of Regular Oil Changes

Engine Lubrication

Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining proper engine lubrication. Motor oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine, reducing friction and heat buildup. This helps prevent premature wear and tear on engine components, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Engine Cleanliness

In addition to lubricating the engine, motor oil also helps keep it clean by trapping dirt, debris, and contaminants. Over time, these particles can accumulate in the oil, forming sludge and deposits that can impede engine performance and efficiency. Regular oil changes help remove these impurities, keeping your engine clean and running smoothly.

Improved Fuel Efficiency

A clean and properly lubricated engine operates more efficiently, resulting in improved fuel efficiency. Fresh oil reduces friction and drag within the engine, allowing it to run more smoothly and consume less fuel. By maintaining regular oil changes, you can help maximize your vehicle’s fuel economy and save money on gas.

Extended Engine Life

Proper engine lubrication and cleanliness provided by regular oil changes help extend the life of your engine. By reducing friction, wear, and heat buildup, fresh oil helps prevent premature engine failure and costly repairs. Investing in regular oil changes is a simple and effective way to protect your engine and prolong its lifespan.

Signs You Might Need an Oil Change

Dashboard Warning Light

One of the most common signs that you need an oil change is the appearance of the oil change or maintenance required light on your dashboard. This light is triggered by sensors that detect low oil pressure or deteriorating oil quality. If you see this warning light illuminated, it’s essential to schedule an oil change as soon as possible to prevent potential engine damage.

Dark or Dirty Oil

Checking the color and condition of your vehicle’s oil can help determine if it’s time for an oil change. Fresh oil is typically amber or light brown and has a smooth consistency. If you notice that your oil is dark, gritty, or sludgy, it’s a sign that it’s overdue for a change. Dirty oil can’t lubricate the engine effectively and may contain harmful contaminants that can damage engine components.

What Normally Happens During an Oil Change Service

At Promex Auto, our oil change service goes beyond just draining the old oil and replacing it with fresh oil. Our comprehensive oil change process includes several essential steps to ensure your vehicle’s engine receives the care and attention it deserves.

Drain Old Oil

The first step in an oil change service is draining the old, used oil from the engine. Properly draining the old oil ensures that all contaminants and impurities are removed from the engine, allowing for a clean and effective oil change.

Replace Oil Filter

In addition to draining the old oil, we also replace the oil filter during every oil change service. The oil filter is responsible for trapping dirt, debris, and contaminants, preventing them from circulating through the engine. Over time, the oil filter can become clogged and less effective, compromising engine performance and longevity. By replacing the oil filter with a new one, we ensure optimal filtration and engine protection.

Inspect Other Fluids

As part of our oil change service, our technicians will inspect other vital fluids in your vehicle, including coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. We’ll check fluid levels and condition to ensure they’re at the proper levels and free from contamination or leaks. Identifying any issues with other fluids allows us to address them promptly and prevent potential damage to your vehicle’s systems.

Check Belts and Hoses

Belts and hoses play a crucial role in the operation of your vehicle’s engine and other systems. During the oil change service, our technicians will inspect the condition of belts and hoses for signs of wear, cracking, or deterioration. Worn or damaged belts and hoses can lead to engine overheating, loss of power steering, or other serious issues. By identifying and replacing worn components, we help prevent costly breakdowns and repairs down the road.

Lubricate Chassis

In addition to servicing the engine, we also lubricate key chassis components as part of our oil change service. Lubricating chassis components such as door hinges, hood latches, and suspension parts helps reduce friction and wear, ensuring smooth operation and longevity. Proper lubrication also helps prevent squeaks, rattles, and premature component failure, keeping your vehicle running smoothly and quietly.

Conduct Visual Inspection

Finally, our technicians will perform a visual inspection of your vehicle’s exterior and undercarriage to check for any visible issues or signs of damage. We’ll inspect the tires, brakes, suspension, exhaust system, and other components for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. If we identify any concerns during the visual inspection, we’ll provide recommendations for necessary repairs or maintenance services to keep your vehicle safe and reliable on the road.
