How often should I get an oil change?
Change conventional oil about every 5,000 miles and full synthetic every 7,500–10,000 miles, or follow the severe-service interval in your owner's manual for stop-and-go LA driving.
What oil does my car need?
Your car needs the viscosity (for example 0W-20 or 5W-30) and specification (for example dexos or VW 502.00) listed in the owner's manual. We look up and use the exact specification for your vehicle.
How long does an oil change take?
Most oil changes take under 45 minutes when booked online or by phone.
What happens if I go too long without an oil change?
Old oil breaks down into sludge that blocks oil passages and wears engine bearings and camshafts, which can lead to engine failure.
