Minor Services, Oil Changes and Inspections

Oil Change Service in Rowlett, TX

An oil change service is a vital service that we provide at our Rowlett auto repair shop. Most owners do not give it much thought—just another chore to be done now and then. But regular oil changes are essential to your vehicle’s well-being. At Parkway Car Care in Rowlett, we recommend a synthetic oil change service every 5,000 miles for most vehicles. We use the highest quality Castrol engine oil that provides both chemical and mechanical properties your car’s engine requires to operate at its best.

Regular oil change service offers multiple benefits:

• Removal of old engine oil and oil filter also removes debris and grime that have accumulated as the oil moves through the engine.
• A new oil filter can efficiently filter new engine oil, putting less strain on the system.
• Fresh engine oil has the correct chemical and mechanical properties to protect the engine, thus extending engine life.
• At Parkway Car Care, we also perform a free digital vehicle inspection, giving us a chance to spot impending problems before they develop fully. We provide you with an electronic copy of the inspection results so you can always be up-to-date on the overall condition of your vehicle.

How often should your vehicle undergo an oil change?

If your vehicle uses conventional oil, an oil change should be done every 3,000 miles. If your vehicle uses 100% synthetic oil, you should bring it in for an oil change every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Engine oil loses its properties due to the passage of time and exposure to high heat, so regular oil changes are a necessity. A regular oil change is one of the least expensive, yet most important services to keep your vehicle healthy and to extend engine life. If you are not sure if your vehicle needs an engine oil change, bring it to our Rowlett repair shop—our mechanics can inspect the oil and determine if it needs to be replaced. Do not delay an oil change; it causes unnecessary wear on the engine, and engine replacement is a very expensive repair. We also recommend periodically checking the engine oil level in your vehicle between oil changes—especially if you drive a Toyota Prius or other vehicles known for excessive oil consumption.
