Oil Change

Engine oil lubricates internal components, reduces heat, and helps prevent premature wear. Over time, oil breaks down and loses its ability to protect the engine effectively.

At Reno Vulcanizing, oil change service is based on manufacturer recommendations and vehicle condition. The correct oil type, viscosity, and service interval are selected for your specific vehicle.

Why Proper Oil Service Matters

Modern engines are engineered with tighter tolerances and specific lubrication requirements. Using the wrong oil type or extending intervals beyond recommendation can lead to:

• Increased engine wear
• Sludge buildup
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Long-term performance decline

Routine oil service helps maintain engine efficiency and reliability over time.

When an Oil Change Is Recommended

Drivers typically schedule oil service when:

• A dashboard maintenance reminder appears
• The recommended mileage interval has been reached
• Oil appears dark or degraded
• The vehicle has experienced heavy or extreme driving conditions

If service history is uncertain, inspection helps determine the appropriate next step.

What an Oil Change Service Includes

Oil change service typically involves:

• Draining and replacing engine oil
• Installing a new oil filter
• Verifying proper oil level and specification
• Resetting maintenance indicators when applicable
• Inspecting accessible components under the hood

Oil service is performed using products that meet manufacturer standards.

Included With Every Service Visit

Every vehicle we service receives a complimentary 27-point inspection, complete with a digital inspection report sent directly to your phone or email. This provides a documented overview of key safety and wear items alongside routine maintenance.

More Than a Quick Fluid Change

An oil change is also an opportunity to monitor overall vehicle condition. Early identification of leaks, worn components, or fluid concerns can help prevent more costly repairs later.
