Fortunately, foryou’re your oil change needs, we're here to serve you and help you save at Emerling Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
A lot of folks think that gasoline is the lifeblood of your vehicile, but that's only half-true at best. As a matter of fact, engine oil is just as important to the safe and efficient operation of your vehicle.
You see, engine oil helps lubricate the most critical components of your vehicle's engine, as well as transferring heat and cleaning away debris from the combustion process. However, with time and use, the chemical compounds in engine oil break down and it can become saturated with contaminants, making the liquid thick, viscous, and less capable of doing its job. If left unchecked, spent engine oil can cause some serious damage to your car's engine, which is why it's so critical to have your engine oil changed at regular intervals.
Ideally, you'll never notice any difference in your vehicle's performance due to spent engine oil, but some signs that you're in critical need of an oil change include…

That depends on what sort of car you have and what your driving style is. For example, if you own a new Ram 1500 pickup or a new Jeep Brand SUV that you use at your job site or for off-road driving, you may want to have your oil changed roughly every 4,000 miles, as these qualify as severe use conditions that would put excess strain on your vehicle and its engine oil. Even if that's not the case, you should be regularly checking your vehicle's oil levels at least once a month or before long-distance drives.
That being said, in most cases, you should be changing your engine oil at least, once every year or every 10,000 miles, but it's always best to check with our certified Mopar technicians here at our service center near Ashford to see what oil change interval is best for your vehicle and driving needs.
That depends on your vehicle. Most of our new Chrysler, Ram, Dodge, and Jeep Brand vehicles take synthetic moto oil these days, but the specific formula that's best for each model can vary. For a new Chrysler car like the Chrysler Pacifica, you'll usually want something like MOPAR® 5W-20. On the other hand, a Dodge Charger with the 6.2-liter V8 engine will generally take MOPAR® 0W-40 engine oil. Luckily, whatever engine oil you need, you can count on finding the ideal engine oil and engine filters available to you here at Emerling Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Schedule a service appointment with our MOPAR® certified service center near West Seneca, NY to plan your next oil change with us today.
