What does an Oil Change do?

Your car depends on new oil and oil filters to keep it running efficiently. Oil needs to be kept full, clean from fragments, and not burnt. Oil lubes essential engine components. Moving parts create rubbing, and over time that rubbing wears the parts down. Oil, or a synthetic lube, could lessen the damage from the heat by those moving components. By having a regular oil change service schedule, you will positively increase your engine’s efficiency as well as expand the life of your vehicle’s engine.

When to change/check your oil?
  • The check Oil Light is illuminated
  • The check Engine Light is on
  • Oil is dirty
  • Pinging, knocking, or various other sounds coming from the engine

It is recommended you have an oil change every 3,000 – 5,000 miles to stop engine wear and keep oil free from particles. For your car’s particular service intervals, always consult your owners guide or ask one of our professionals at Harry’s Tire Service.

What does your vehicle fluids do?

Fluids, including engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze/coolant, and power steering fluid, keep the vital parts of your vehicle lubricated and working like they should. Engine oil is necessary for the total greasing of your engine and components, and must be inspected and replaced regularly. Transmission fluid keeps your transmission running smoothly and prevents slipping. Brake fluid helps the braking system by transferring force into pressure. Antifreeze and coolant help to keep your engine from overheating, and the lines from freezing in lower temperatures. Lastly, the power steering fluid helps in the power steering function of your vehicle.

Why is automotive fluid service important?

In order to help your vehicle function effectively, fluids have to be kept full and clean from particles. Each of your fluids should be inspected and changed at normal intervals to prevent them from burning, depleting, or from collecting fragments.

If I have a leak, what are ways to recognize what leaks may be?
  • Radiator fluid is bright green and very slippery. It must be checked frequently.
  • Antifreeze, or coolant, could be pink or green and is hazardous to your pets. Ingesting this fluid creates a significant health danger to mammals. Antifreeze must be checked and filled with every oil change.
  • Brake fluid is a light yellow and can change to a foggy brown color scheme when mixed with water. You must have this fluid changed every year to ensure brake security.
  • Power steering fluid has a yellow tint. It can easily be checked and filled with oil changes.
  • Automatic transmission fluid has a deep red shade. It has a sharp odor and is thick in structure and needs to be changed about every 30,000 miles. A lack of transmission fluid can cause a transmission to stick or slip
  • Windshield washer fluid can be any color – from brilliant blue, orange, to pink or yellow. It has the consistency of water and could smell rather pleasant. It needs to be filled regularly.
  • Motor oil may be brilliant or dark brown depending on how often you change it. Frequently changed motor oil will be light brown, while aged motor oil will be a darker tone. You must have your motor oil changed every 3000-5000 miles.
  • Gasoline has an amber shade, yet you may recognize its incredibly unique odor. It is highly combustible, so prevent any type of open fires: lighters, matches, or cigarettes.
