How many kilometres between oil changes?
Between 15,000 and 30,000 km depending on the manufacturer, or once a year if you drive little. In urban use with short trips, the oil degrades before reaching the theoretical mileage.
What we see most at the garage: cars running "bargain" oil that does not meet the manufacturer’s standard. In a modern engine with a particulate filter, oil without the right approval shortens the DPF’s life and can end in a repair far more expensive than everything saved. That is why here the oil is chosen by the manufacturer’s label, not the price of the drum. Take the chance to book an official service if your car is under warranty.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bring my own oil?
Yes, as long as it meets the manufacturer’s specification. Even so, compare first: we work with top-tier brands at competitive prices.
Do you always change all the filters?
The oil filter, always. Air, fuel and cabin filters are changed according to your maintenance plan interval or their real condition; we show you first.
What happens if I go past the interval?
Degraded oil loses its lubricating capacity and engine wear accelerates. A few thousand extra kilometres will not break an engine, but making a habit of it shortens its life.
Do you reset the service indicator?
Yes, we reset the service light and log the job for your maintenance history.
