Common Signs You Need an Oil Change Service

Regular oil changes are essential, but many drivers aren’t always sure when their vehicle needs one. Here are some common signs that indicate it’s time to change your oil:

1. Engine Noises or Knocking Sounds

A noisy engine could be a sign that your oil isn’t lubricating the engine properly. The oil may be too old or dirty to perform effectively, causing friction between engine components. If you hear a knocking or tapping sound, it’s time for an oil change. 

2. Dirty or Dark Oil

Fresh motor oil is typically amber in color, but as it gets dirty and breaks down, it turns dark and thick. If you check your oil level and notice the oil is unusually dark or gritty, it’s time to change it 

3. Check Engine Light or Oil Light Comes On

Many vehicles have a dashboard light that illuminates when oil levels are low or the oil quality is poor. If your oil light or check engine light turns on, it’s time to visit Berks Auto Repair for an oil change. 

4. Engine Overheating

If your engine temperature gauge shows that the engine is running hotter than normal, it could indicate that the oil isn’t providing enough lubrication or cooling, leading to overheating. A timely oil change can help prevent further damage.

5. Excessive Exhaust Smoke or Burnt Oil Smell

If you notice smoke coming from your engine or a burning oil smell in the cabin, it may indicate an oil leak or other engine issues. Getting an oil change can help resolve this problem before it worsens.

6. Poor Engine Performance or Decreased Fuel Efficiency

If your vehicle is sluggish or doesn’t accelerate as smoothly as usual, it could be due to old or contaminated oil. An oil change can restore engine performance and help improve fuel efficiency.

7. Oil Leaks

If you see oil spots or puddles under your car, it could be a sign that your oil levels are low or there’s a problem with your oil system. Leaks are a serious issue, and an oil change can help you detect and resolve the problem early.

Types of Oil Change Services We Provide

At Berks Auto Repair, we understand that every vehicle has different needs. That’s why we offer a variety of oil change options tailored to your vehicle’s specific requirements. Below are the different types of oil change services we provide:

1. Full Synthetic Oil Change Service

Full synthetic oil is engineered to perform under the most extreme conditions, offering superior protection for high-performance engines. This oil is formulated with high-quality base oils and additives, providing better engine performance and longevity. Full synthetic oil resists breakdown better than conventional oils, reducing the frequency of oil changes. It also performs exceptionally well in both very high and low temperatures, providing excellent lubrication in all conditions.

Full synthetic oil is ideal for newer vehicles or vehicles that require advanced performance. It keeps your engine running efficiently while providing superior protection against sludge, wear, and oxidation.

2. High Mileage Full Synthetic Oil Change Service

High mileage full synthetic oil is specially designed for older vehicles with over 75,000 miles on the odometer. As cars age, their engines experience natural wear and tear. High mileage oils contain additives that help rejuvenate seals, reduce oil consumption, and minimize leaks, all while providing the advanced protection of full synthetic oils. These oils also reduce friction and wear, which are common in older engines, improving fuel efficiency and overall engine performance.

This oil type is perfect for drivers looking to extend the life of their older cars while maintaining optimal performance.

3. Synthetic Blend Oil Change Service

Synthetic blend oil combines the benefits of both conventional and synthetic oils, providing a cost-effective solution for everyday driving. It offers superior protection compared to conventional oils, particularly in high temperatures and under heavy load. Synthetic blends provide better wear protection, cleaner engines, and improved fuel economy over traditional oils, making them a great choice for those who want some of the benefits of synthetic oil without the higher price.

Synthetic blend oils are ideal for cars with moderate engine demands, older vehicles, or those needing frequent oil changes.

4. High Mileage Synthetic Blend Oil Change Service

High mileage synthetic blend oil is a blend of conventional and synthetic oils, specially formulated for vehicles with over 75,000 miles. This oil helps prevent common issues faced by high-mileage engines, such as excessive oil burn-off and leaks, while providing enhanced wear protection and better fuel efficiency. It’s a cost-effective solution for drivers looking to keep their older cars running smoothly and efficiently.

5. High Mileage Oil Change Service

High mileage oil is specifically designed for vehicles with more than 75,000 miles. As engines age, they begin to show signs of wear and tear, such as oil leaks or excessive oil consumption. High mileage oil contains special additives that help protect the engine by rejuvenating seals, reducing oil burn-off, and improving engine performance. It is formulated to reduce the effects of aging, so your engine can continue to run smoothly and efficiently for years to come.

6. Conventional Oil Change Service

Conventional oil is the most basic and affordable form of motor oil. It is made from refined crude oil and offers reliable lubrication for vehicles with simpler engines. While it requires more frequent changes compared to synthetic oils, it remains a great option for vehicles that don’t require the enhanced performance characteristics of synthetic oils. Conventional oil is best for older cars with low-mileage engines that aren’t exposed to extreme driving conditions.

7. Advanced Protection Oil Change Service

Our advanced protection oil service uses specially formulated oil that offers superior protection against engine wear, deposits, and heat. It’s ideal for vehicles driven in extreme conditions or those requiring additional protection against everyday wear and tear. This oil helps to protect your engine in stop-and-go traffic, long-distance driving, and high-performance conditions. Advanced protection oil can also improve fuel economy and reduce engine sludge buildup, making it a great choice for drivers looking to protect their engines and improve performance.

8. Additional Protection Oil Change Service

If you’re looking for even more protection for your engine, our additional protection oil change service offers premium oils with extra additives designed to offer superior protection against extreme wear and conditions. This oil is formulated to keep your engine running smoothly, reducing friction and preventing the buildup of harmful sludge. If you frequently drive in tough conditions or want to ensure your engine’s longevity, this oil will provide the additional protection you need.

9. Great for Everyday Driving Oil Change Service

For those who use their vehicles primarily for commuting and short trips, our “Great for Everyday Driving” oil change service provides a balanced approach to engine care. This oil offers solid protection against wear and tear while being affordable and efficient. It’s the ideal choice for everyday drivers looking for an affordable oil change that meets the demands of regular use.

10. Performance Oil Service

Performance oil service is designed for high-performance vehicles or those driven in extreme conditions. Whether you own a sports car, luxury vehicle, or heavy-duty truck, this oil service ensures that your engine gets the premium lubrication it needs for maximum efficiency and performance. Performance oils are specially formulated to provide superior protection at high speeds, high temperatures, and under heavy load conditions. If you demand the best from your vehicle, performance oil service is the right choice.

Our Simple and Effective Oil Change Process

At Berks Auto Repair, we believe that an oil change is more than just a routine service, it’s a vital part of maintaining your car’s engine health. We understand how important it is to keep your vehicle running smoothly, and we’ve designed our oil change process to ensure that your engine receives the best care possible. Our experienced team takes pride in offering a thorough, professional oil change service, with attention to detail at every step.

Step 1: Vehicle Inspection

Before we even begin the oil change, our skilled technicians will conduct a quick inspection of your vehicle to check for any immediate issues that might need attention. This includes inspecting the oil filter, checking for oil leaks, and assessing other engine components. This proactive inspection helps us identify potential problems early, saving you from costly repairs down the road. We’ll also make sure that your car’s oil level is at the appropriate level, giving you peace of mind that your engine is properly protected.

Step 2: Draining the Old Oil

Once the inspection is complete, our technicians will proceed by carefully draining the old oil from your engine. This is a crucial step in the process because old oil can lose its ability to lubricate the engine effectively, leading to engine wear and poor performance. We’ll ensure that all the old oil is properly drained and disposed of in an eco-friendly manner. At Berks Auto Repair, we follow strict environmental standards to ensure the safe disposal of used oil, keeping our community and the environment safe.

Step 3: Replacing the Oil Filter

While draining the old oil, we’ll also replace the oil filter with a new, high-quality filter. The oil filter plays a vital role in capturing dirt, debris, and contaminants in the oil, ensuring that your engine stays clean. Over time, the filter can become clogged, reducing its effectiveness. By replacing it with a fresh filter, we ensure that your engine gets clean oil, free from harmful particles that could damage internal components.

Step 4: Adding Fresh Oil

Once the old oil and filter have been replaced, we’ll add the fresh oil according to your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations. At Berks Auto Repair, we use only high-quality oils, whether you opt for conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic oils, depending on your vehicle’s needs. We take extra care to use the right type and amount of oil to ensure optimal engine performance. We will also check the oil level to make sure it’s at the correct level and monitor the condition of the oil to ensure it’s working as it should.

Step 5: Final Inspection and Engine Start

After the oil change, we’ll perform a final inspection of your vehicle to ensure that everything is functioning correctly. Our technicians will start your vehicle to allow the fresh oil to circulate throughout the engine and check for any leaks around the oil filter or oil drain plug. This ensures that the oil change has been completed properly and that your vehicle is ready for the road.

Step 6: Provide You with Maintenance Recommendations

Once your oil change is complete, our technicians will provide you with a detailed overview of any additional maintenance needs for your vehicle. Whether it’s a recommendation for a tire rotation, brake check, or fluid level inspection, we’ll make sure you’re aware of any services that might help extend the life of your car. We believe in transparent communication, so you’ll never be in the dark about your vehicle’s health.
