Your car is a considerable investment. Other than purchasing a home, a car is the largest expenditure most consumers make in their lifetimes. Modern vehicles are engineered to run without problems for a long time. But you'll need to keep up with your car's routine maintenance schedule to ensure trouble-free driving. Perhaps the most important part of every scheduled service visit is an oil change. If you live in Gloucester City, oil change service is nearby when you visit the Burns Hyundai Service Center in Marlton.
Why is changing my car's oil important?
Engines are composed of many moving parts that operate at high speeds. Motor oil lubricates these parts and keeps them from wearing out. Without oil, the engine's components would be subjected to high temperatures that result from friction. Changing the oil prevents dirt and grime from accumulating in the engine. If your car needs an oil change service near Gloucester City, don't ignore taking it to the Burns Hyundai Service Center service.
What happens during an oil change?
When our service technicians change the oil in your vehicle, they flush out old, dirty oil and replace it with new, fresh oil. The technicians will also replace your car's oil filter and inspect the level of the oil.
What kind of oil should I use?
When you bring your car to Burns Hyundai for an oil change, our service technicians know which type of oil is best for your vehicle. You'll find this information in your vehicle's owner's manual.
What are the different types of motor oil?
There are four types of motor oil: conventional, synthetic, synthetic blend and high-mileage.
- Conventional Motor Oil: Conventional oil is the classic type of motor oil. It's refined from crude oil and combined with additives that are designed to protect the engine. It's the most inexpensive type of oil.
- Synthetic Motor Oil: Synthetic oil is more refined than conventional oil. It has fewer impurities than crude oil, and it's designed to work well with today's high-performance engines. Synthetic oil lasts longer, is more resistant to heat, and is cleaner than conventional motor oil. Synthetic oil is especially recommended for cars that drive in very hot or cold weather or are used for towing.
- Synthetic Blend Motor Oil: Synthetic blend oil is a combination of conventional and synthetic oil. It provides many of the benefits of synthetic oil at a lower price.
- High-mileage Motor Oil: High-mileage oil is a special formulation designed for vehicles that have driven more than 75,000 miles. It offers the same benefits as synthetic oil, and it also contains additives that help prevent oil leaks and reduce oil burn-off.
You'll find the manufacturer's recommended type of oil in your vehicle's owner's manual, as well as the oil change schedule.
