Essential Vehicle Maintenance in Benton Harbor, MI

At LeValley Chevrolet GMC in Benton Harbor, MI, we know that regular oil changes are crucial for keeping your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. Engine oil ensures all moving parts stay properly lubricated and protected from harmful friction. With our certified oil services, your vehicle will experience enhanced performance, improved fuel efficiency, and a longer lifespan.

Why Is Regular Oil Service Important?

Oil changes are one of the simplest yet most important services you can perform for your vehicle. Over time, engine oil breaks down, losing its ability to lubricate and protect engine components effectively. Regular oil changes help maintain engine health, minimize the risk of damage, and prevent costly repairs in the future.

Key benefits of routine oil changes include:

• Improved Engine Performance: Fresh oil allows the engine to operate smoothly, reducing wear and tear on engine parts.
• Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: Proper lubrication reduces engine friction, leading to better mileage and performance.
• Longer Engine Life: Regular oil changes protect vital engine parts from overheating and corrosion, extending the life of your vehicle.

When Should You Get an Oil Change?

The frequency of oil changes depends on the make and model of your vehicle, as well as your driving habits. Generally, vehicles require an oil change every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, but always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s specific recommendation. If you frequently drive in harsh conditions, such as heavy traffic or extreme temperatures, you may need to change your oil more often.

Our experienced technicians at LeValley Chevrolet GMC are here to help guide you on the optimal oil change interval for your specific vehicle.

How Long Does an Oil Change Take?

Our dealership aims to make your oil change quick and efficient. On average, our oil changes take about an hour, depending on your vehicle’s make and model. Our technicians follow a meticulous process to ensure top-quality service every time:

• Oil Drainage: We carefully drain the old oil, removing contaminants that can affect engine performance.
• Oil Filter Replacement:A fresh oil filter is installed to maintain clean oil flow and protect your engine.
• Fresh Oil Fill: Your vehicle is filled with the recommended oil type and grade for optimal engine health.
• Fluid Top-Off: We check and top off essential fluids like coolant and transmission fluid to keep your vehicle in peak condition.

During the oil change, we also perform a quick inspection to identify any other potential maintenance needs, helping keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely.
