Regular oil changes are essential to ensuring the long-term health and reliability of your vehicle. Here are some signs that it’s time to visit the service professionals at Bob King for a GMC oil change.
How Long Has It Been?
If you can’t quite remember when you last had your oil changed, then now is the time. The age-old advice of getting your oil changed every 3,000 miles has changed in recent years to getting your oil serviced every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
Oil Texture & Low Oil Level
Engine oil develops its dark color right away, but grit, grime, or other dirt particles present means it’s time to change it out.
If it’s been a while since you checked your oil levels and you discover it’s been low for some time, take the time to change it out before your engine suffers damage.
Oil Level Keeps Falling
Take the time to check your oil and top it off. If the oil level seems to drop more often than usual, visit our GMC service center right away.
Smoky Vehicle Exhaust
If your vehicle’s exhaust is thick, black, and smoky, schedule an oil change right away to avoid further excess engine wear. You may want to have your engine fully inspected, as well.
Increased Engine Noise & Shaking While Idling
When your oil becomes thin and old, it can’t properly lubricate your engine. Knocking and ticking noises when driving or starting up are clear signals that it’s time to get an oil change.
If you’re experiencing any of the above signs, schedule an oil change at Bob King Buick GMC today!
