    Q: What Does Motor Oil Actually Do?

    A: Motor oil lubricates all the moving parts in the engine. This prevents any friction that would happen if motor oil wasn't in your car. Without motor oil, engine parts would grind against each other and cause wear and tear on the components. The longer you go without an oil change, the thicker the oil gets. This is because the oil collects contaminants, metal fragments and grime as it goes through the engine block. 

    If you allow your oil to get sludgy, buildup will occur around crankshafts, valves and pistons. The longer this persists, the more likely you are to experience damage that may require expensive engine repairs. In some cases, engine parts will no longer usable and you will need to be replace them completely. 

    Expensive engine repairs can be avoided by changing the oil in your Chevrolet regularly. When you get new oil, it is contaminant-free and improves the performance of your car or truck. It also extends the life of your engine, increases your MPG and decreases the harmful emissions from your Chevrolet.

      Q: When Do I Need To Change The Oil In My Chevrolet?

      A: We're glad you asked. Many GM models are equipped with an Oil Life Monitoring System, which will alert you when it's time for an oil change. While newer Chevrolet models can go longer between oil changes, older models will need to be serviced more often. It's best to reference your owner's manual for the right oil change interval for your car, truck or SUV.
      You can take a look at the dipstick in your Chevrolet engine to see if you need to top off your oil. We recommend you do this at least once a month to make sure your car or truck has sufficient oil levels.  Chevrolet of South Anchorage offers complimentary fluid top offs for your Chevrolet, as well as tire pressure checks - simply swing by and pull into our service bay today!
