Quality engine oil helps you get the most out of your vehicle
You may know that getting the oil in your car, truck, or SUV changed is an important errand to remember--but did you know that it's one of the easiest and most affordable ways to significantly extend the life of your vehicle?
Your gas or diesel engine is the very heart of your vehicle--and by keeping up with regular Ford oil change service in Grapevine, you can keep that ticker running happily for many years to come.
Expert analysts at Edmunds.com helped a few years back to dispel some common myths about oil changes in modern cars; while most have moved away from these older ways of thinking, some quick-lube stops still hold onto them.
But for some drivers in Grapevine, there's still some mystery surrounding proper oil-change rules and techniques. Here are three of our top frequently-asked questions when it comes to this essential service:
- When do I really need to change my oil? It's always best to check with your owner's manual, which will tell you exactly when your vehicle is recommended for basic services; however, for most Ford vehicles, you can get a good 7,500 miles and six months between oil changes
- Can driving style affect that interval? Absolutely. While newer engine oils are pretty durable, short-distance driving, stop-and-go traffic, and very hot/very cold temperatures can cause your oil to wear down much faster
- How much do oil changes cost? Cost varies widely depending on region, vehicle type, oil type, engine type and more. With oil change specials at Grapevine Ford, you could get the best deal on services in town
