Knowing when to get an oil change can be tricky. Generally, it's recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but this can vary based on your vehicle type and usage. In Carol Stream, Oswego, and Plainfield, we deal with a range of climates and driving conditions that can affect this interval. For instance, frequent short trips, towing, or driving in extreme temperatures might necessitate more frequent oil changes.

Furthermore, advancements in oil technology and newer vehicle models might allow for longer intervals between oil changes. However, it’s always best to consult with professionals like us at Bartel's Auto Clinic. We assess your vehicle’s specific needs based on manufacturer recommendations and usage patterns, ensuring your engine always has fresh, effective oil for optimal performance.

Our oil change process at Bartel's Auto Clinic is thorough and tailored to each vehicle. Initially, our technicians drain the old engine oil. This step is crucial as it removes any dirt, debris, and metal particles that have accumulated over time. Following this, we replace the oil filter – an essential component that traps contaminants, preventing them from re-entering the engine.

Next, we refill the engine with high-quality oil that matches your vehicle's specifications. Whether it's conventional, synthetic-blend, full synthetic, or high-mileage oil, we ensure it’s the best fit for your car's needs. This new oil not only lubricates the engine but also helps in cooling engine components, reducing friction, and minimizing wear and tear.
