Oil Change Service in Arlington, WA

Have you noticed that your engine has begun to overheat on your Arlignton drives? Then it may be time to have the oil supply changed at our Service Department! We at Dwayne Lane’s Arlington Chevrolet are happy to help, so stop by soon.

Purpose

Your engine is not one set system, rather a cornucopia of moving parts that help facilitate its functions and provide power to the wheels. But because of its very nature, it is prone to constant duress when active. This is because its many moving systems will grind against each other, resulting in a rise in temperature. When the heat rises too high, it can cause mechanical failure. For that reason, oil coats these parts will reduce overall friction. Additionally, it will act as a cleaning agent, removing dirt and grime to keep the engine working smoothly. However, this will eventually hinder its ability to function and will require that you have it exchanged at our nearby location.

Service Department

In most cases, we suggest having your oil changed once every 7,500 miles, or once a year. This timeline can vary depending on the type of oil you use and your driving habits, so be sure to refer to your Owner’s Manual for more details. Regardless, you should be quick to schedule a service appointment when this time arrives. We’d like to add that we have both synthetic and conventional oil at our disposal. The former is more expensive, but will last longer and prove to be more efficient. On the other hand, conventional oil is often the more affordable choice, and is better for older models since it leaves a protective coating. Speak with our team to learn which would best suit your I-5 travels.

Warning Signs

After enough visits to River Meadows County Park, you may begin to notice signs that your vehicle’s engine oil can no longer support your endeavors. Some signs can include the engine temperature gauge indicating overheating, which is a sign of low or poor oil. This indicator may be followed up by a burning odor, which should be addressed as soon as possible. It’s possible that your car’s fuel economy rating may go down too, since your vehicle is struggling to perform at the same level as it once did.
