What you should know about motor oil.

In order for your car's engine to do its job properly, it is vital to have clean, fresh oil. The oil used in your car has two primary ingredients: base oil and additives. The base oil allows the motor oil to perform its vital function - lubricating the engine's moving parts to protect them against wear and tear caused by friction. The additives provide additional engine protection by helping to prevent the oil from deteriorating under the engine's extreme temperature conditions. We ensure that your vehicle has the correct- and best quality- engine oil.

High quality engine oil reduces friction and wear by forming a seal between the pistons, rings, and cylinder walls. It also helps cool engine parts and even dampens the shock and noise of moving parts. Engine oil should be changed every 3,000-5,000 miles, depending on the type and quality of oil used. To find out if it's time for your next oil change, call us at 239.481.0077 or visit San Carlos Park Automotive today.

We give you more than just a basic oil changes by inspecting your vehicle for other automotive maintenance needs:

Headlight and Bulb Replacement

To maintain maximum visibility (and keep you safe), you should always make sure that your vehicle's headlight bulbs are in good working condition. We can check and replace your headlights with quality bulbs installed by experts. Since it is a critical part of your vehicle's maintenance, we inspect your bulbs during every service.

Wiper Blade Replacement

Visibility is very important to safe driving. Having properly functioning wipers can help keep you safer on the road. If your car's wipers are not wiping well or are leaving streaks, we can replace them with quality wiper blades.

PCV Valve Change

The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is a very important part of some cars' emissions control systems. This valve, which is usually plugged into a rubber grommet in the valve cover, is a one-way passage for gases to escape from the engine's crankcase. With time, the PCV valve becomes clogged with sludge from the contaminants in the exhaust gases. If your car has a PCV valve, it should be cleaned and (if necessary) replaced during each service.
