Doing an oil change maintenance service can feel like an expensive chore that one tries to do as little as possible. Actually this service reduces the wear and tear on your vehicle and extends its life.All mineral oil is the same with single numerical grades of oil such as 20, 30 0r 40 weight of oil. When you get your oil changed your oil is called 5w30, 10w30 and so on. Those beginning numbers describe how thick the oil is at startup. All oil is too thick to go through the oil filter and oil pump at start up because it is too cold. Oil’s optimum temperature is around 212 degrees F. At that heat, all oil has about the same thickness. There is an additive package added to the oil which thins it (among other things) on startup. The thin viscosity is what saves the wear on your engine. After 6-8000 km. this packet is used up and the viscosity has thickened back to the original weight grade.

Our Maintenance Service Plan takes care of your whole car throughout the year. Every 6-8000 km we inspect various areas of your vehicle as well as change the oil and filter. Due to the fact, that we don’t always need to do the same inspection over and over again, but need to inspect the whole car and to reduce costs to you, we break it up. Here is our maintenance service plan rotating every 6-8000 kilometers.
In these Covid19 days, we need our vehicles to be reliable and safe. We can help.
