Oil Change

At McDonough Auto Service in Hewitt, Texas, we understand the critical role that regular oil changes play in maintaining your vehicle’s performance and longevity. Routine oil changes are essential for keeping your engine running smoothly and efficiently. Our ASE-certified technicians are highly skilled in providing comprehensive oil change services, ensuring your vehicle remains reliable and efficient.

​

Understanding the Importance of Oil Changes

Engine oil is vital for the health of your vehicle's engine. It lubricates the moving parts, reduces friction, and helps keep the engine cool by dissipating heat. Over time, engine oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt, debris, and other particles, which can lead to increased wear and tear on the engine. Regular oil changes ensure that your engine is always protected by clean, high-quality oil.

​

Benefits of Regular Oil Changes

  1. Improved Engine Performance: Clean oil ensures that the engine's moving parts are properly lubricated, reducing friction and allowing the engine to operate more efficiently.

  2. Extended Engine Life: Regular oil changes help prevent the buildup of sludge and other contaminants that can cause engine damage, extending the life of your engine.

  3. Better Fuel Efficiency: An engine that runs smoothly and efficiently uses less fuel, helping you save money at the pump.

  4. Reduced Emissions: Clean oil helps your engine run cleaner, reducing harmful emissions and contributing to a healthier environment.

  5. Prevent Costly Repairs: Regular oil changes can help identify potential issues early, preventing more serious and costly problems down the road.
     

Signs That Your Vehicle Needs an Oil Change

While it's essential to follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended oil change intervals, there are several signs that may indicate it's time for an oil change:
 

  1. Dashboard Warning Light: The oil change or check engine light on your dashboard illuminates.

  2. Dark, Dirty Oil: Fresh oil is amber in color, but it becomes dark and dirty over time. Check the oil dipstick to see if the oil looks dirty.

  3. Engine Noise: If you hear knocking or ticking sounds coming from the engine, it may be due to insufficient lubrication from old or low oil.

  4. Exhaust Smoke: Excessive smoke from the exhaust could indicate that the oil is not performing its job correctly.

  5. Oil Smell: A strong smell of oil inside the vehicle could indicate an oil leak or other issue.
