Conventional Oil Change

Why Does My Chevy Need an Oil Change?

If you've ever looked at the tachometer in your Chevy, you'll have seen that the engine is fast. Metal parts that move so quickly generate lots of friction, which can then damage those metal parts. That's where the engine oil comes into play. It serves as a lubricant that keeps the engine's moving components from suffering damage caused by friction. However, like all good things, engine oil doesn't last. The heat and friction in the engine will eventually break it down, making it less capable of keeping everything running smoothly. When this happens, you should have the oil changed.

How Often Does My Chevy Need an Oil Change?

It helps to have an idea of how long you can expect your battery to last. This can allow you to predict when you'll need service. In general, these batteries tend to last somewhere between three and four years. There are a few signs you may notice before your battery completely stops working. For one thing, you may notice that you have to get closer to your vehicle than you used to before your doors will unlock. Another possible indication that it's time for a new battery is that you have to click your key fob numerous times before your doors will finally unlock. If you notice either of these signs, it's a good idea to set up an appointment for key fob service.
