Oil Changes in Williamsville, NY

Warning Signs You Need to Change Your Oil

When thinking about getting an oil change, you might notice clear signs, like a check engine or an oil light turning on. If your car is like that, take it to a certified mechanic like Scruggs Automotive Repair when the oil light comes on. This will prevent engine problems later. If your vehicle’s check engine light is on, it may be because there’s insufficient oil. You can check the dipstick to find out what’s going on. Sometimes, the check engine light comes on to warn you that the engine is at risk of damage. We will use our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to diagnose any problems you have due to an oil leak. Your engine may begin making noise or knocking because of metal-to-metal contact due to a lack of oil. Sometimes, you might hear loud knocking or rumbling noises from your engine. These sounds mean your engine breaks down, usually due to a lack of lubrication. If you notice the symptoms, get your vehicle to a mechanic as soon as you can, and get your oil changed immediately. When oil is clean, it’s amber in color and translucent. It becomes filled with particles collected from the engine as it’s used. The engine oil will get darker as time passes. It’s hard to tell when this starts, so check your oil monthly. You may smell oil inside your Car or notice exhaust smoke and excessive mileage on your vehicle. If you smell oil inside, the car may have an oil leak. If your exhaust smoke is dark or increased in quantity, you may have faulty engine parts and an oil leak. It’s time to get a tune-up and check the excessive mileage. Our ASE-certified technicians will prompt you to have your oil changed more often than a normal schedule if you have an older, high-mileage vehicle.
