Tell me about my Oil & Filter Change
Regular oil and filter changes are one of the most important services for keeping your engine healthy. Engine oil lubricates, cools, and cleans internal engine components, while the oil filter removes dirt and contaminants. Over time, oil breaks down and the filter clogs, reducing effectiveness. Replacing them at the recommended intervals helps your engine run smoothly and last longer.
What is an oil & filter change?
This service involves draining the old engine oil, replacing the oil filter, and refilling the engine with fresh oil of the correct grade and specification for your vehicle.
Why do you need an oil & filter change?
Old or dirty oil loses its ability to lubricate and protect the engine. Without regular oil and filter changes, the engine can wear prematurely, overheat, or suffer major damage. Fresh oil and a clean filter keep everything running efficiently.
Common signs you need an oil & filter change
- Oil change or service reminder light illuminated
- Engine oil appears dark, thick, or gritty on the dipstick
- Loud ticking or knocking noises from the engine
- Excessive exhaust smoke
- Poor fuel economy
- Overdue based on mileage or time since last service
What happens during an oil & filter change?
A mechanic will:
- Drain the old engine oil from the sump
- Remove the old oil filter and fit a new one
- Refill the engine with manufacturer-recommended oil
- Check the oil level and top up if necessary
- Inspect for any leaks or other issues
How much does an oil & filter change cost?
An oil and filter change typically costs $150–$250, depending on the type of oil required (conventional, semi-synthetic, or full synthetic) and the vehicle type.
Is it unsafe to drive without regular oil & filter changes?
Yes. Skipping oil changes leads to dirty, degraded oil that cannot protect the engine. This increases wear, overheating, and the risk of engine failure. Regular oil and filter changes are essential for safe and reliable driving.
