Mopar Service

An oil change is one of the most common yet vital procedures for a vehicle. When it comes time to change your oil, make sure you get it done right by visiting our certified MOPAR® service center.

Why Are Oil Changes Important? 

The oil inside your vehicle helps perform a variety of tasks, including keeping your engine smooth and functioning at a reasonable temperature. It can even improve your fuel efficiency and save you money in the process. By replacing your oil regularly, you can ensure that your engine has as little friction as possible –you’ll experience less wear on your MOPAR parts.

Changing your oil might also be more necessary if you live in a location where the seasons are especially harsh. Certain oil types are optimized to perform better at different temperatures and can help you easily start your engine when the weather gets colder.

Signs You Need an Oil Change 

You should always check your owner's manual to see when the manufacturer recommends getting an oil change. In most cases, it’s recommended that you change your oil every time you’ve driven 5,000 miles. You should also note that synthetic oils need to be changed on a less frequent basis when compared to conventional oil. 

Thankfully, some signs may appear in your vehicle to alert you that an oil change is imminent. Here are some symptoms to look out for: 

  • The oil level is low when inspecting with a dipstick 
  • The oil looks dark or dirty instead of yellow and translucent 
  • You notice smoke coming from the exhaust 
  • When you start your car, there’s a burning smell 
  • The oil light on your dash illuminates
