Oil Change
In Prince George, VA

Understanding when to get your oil changed can be puzzling for many car owners. At Clarks Auto Care, we simplify this for you. Typically, vehicles should have an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but this can vary based on your car's make, model, and the type of oil used. Modern synthetic oils have extended this interval, but it’s always best to consult your owner’s manual or our expert team for personalized advice. Notably, frequent short trips, towing, or driving in extreme conditions can necessitate more frequent oil changes.

It's not just about the mileage; there are signs your car will show when it needs an oil change. These include the oil change light on your dashboard, engine noise and knocking, dark and dirty oil, and a lingering oil smell inside the cabin. Ignoring these signs can lead to reduced engine efficiency and potentially more serious engine problems. At Clarks Auto Care, we help you stay ahead of these issues, ensuring your car runs smoothly and efficiently.

Our oil change service at Clarks Auto Care is thorough and tailored to your vehicle's specific needs. Initially, our ASE Certified technicians will assess your vehicle's current condition. We then drain the old oil, ensuring that it is disposed of responsibly. This step is crucial in maintaining the health and efficiency of your vehicle’s engine.

Next, we replace the oil filter, an often overlooked but essential component of the oil change process. A new, high-quality filter ensures that your engine is not only running on clean oil but also remains free from contaminants that could impede performance. Finally, we refill the engine with premium-grade oil, whether it’s conventional, synthetic, or a blend, based on your vehicle’s requirements and your driving habits. Our partnership with BG Products allows us to use some of the best products in the industry, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity.
