Oil Changes & Filters
At Ultimate Automotive, our oil change service helps keep your car’s engine running smoothly and efficiently. We offer a comprehensive service that focuses on providing the best quality oil, thorough inspections, and expert advice.
Why is an oil change important for your vehicle?
Oil is the lifeblood of your car’s engine, so you want to ensure it’s flowing smoothly.
Regular oil changes are crucial for keeping your engine healthy and maintaining and performance of your vehicle. Over time, the oil in your engine can become contaminated with dirt, debris, and other impurities. This can lead to a decrease in fuel efficiency, engine damage, and even complete engine failure.
By getting an oil change at the recommended intervals, you are ensuring that your engine stays properly lubricated. This allows the internal components to function smoothly and reduces the friction that can cause excess wear and tear. Additionally, fresh oil helps to keep the engine clean and prevents the buildup of harmful sludge.
What's Involved with an Oil Change
When you bring your vehicle to Ultimate Automotive for an oil change in Te Rapa, our qualified mechanics will drain the old oil from the engine and replace it with fresh, high-quality motor oil as recommended by your car’s manufacturer.
We also remove the old oil filter and replace it with a new, high-quality filter to ensure that only clean oil flows through the engine, keeping your car running smoothly and efficiently.
How Often Should You Change Your Engine Oil?
The frequency at which you should change your engine oil depends on several factors, including the make and model of your vehicle, your driving habits, and the type of oil you use. However, a general guideline is to have your oil changed every 10,000km.
If you frequently engage in stop-and-go traffic, drive in extreme temperatures, or tow heavy loads, you may need to change your oil more frequently. These driving conditions can put added stress on your engine and cause the oil to break down faster.
If you drive a lot of short trips, it’s important to get your oil changed more regularly. This is because short trips, especially in city driving, can be harsh on your engine. When you drive short distances, your engine may not have enough time to fully warm up, which can lead to condensation buildup in the oil. This moisture can mix with the oil and form sludge, which can clog the engine and reduce its efficiency.
