Why should I get my oil changed more often?

Check out this photo of the inside of an engine. The oil was not changed often enough, so you can see a lot of cruddy stuff built up. Here's what it comes down to: If you are nice to your car, your car will be nicer to you for many more miles!

Easiest way to get the oil changed

The absolute easiest way to get your vehicle's oil changed is by having OnSite OilChange, a completely mobile service, come to you. You won't even have to leave your air conditioned home or workplace. We'll stop in, get the keys, service the car or truck (or RV, as seen here!), bring you the keys and get payment (checks, credit cards, cash). You're done! No running to the lube shop and waiting there while they take forever to get to your vehicle. THAT is the easiest way to get the oil changed!

What's the easiest way to get your car's oil changed?

There is no easier way to get your oil changed than this:

We service SUVs, trucks, fleets, and cars, including hybrids like this one at a company in Scottsdale, where we go once a month and do oil changes. The employees there don't even have to leave their air-conditioned building! We meet them in the lobby to get their keys, we service their car, and then we meet them once more in the lobby for payment and they're DONE!

PS - The guy in the cowboy hat is Wayne, one of our great technicians. You can see he's holding a container of full synthetic 0w20 oil, which is the correct oil for this car according to Honda.

How much does an oil change cost?

How much do you usually pay for an oil change? $24.95? $39.95? Let's get a bunch of comments here to see what's fair.

AND... Do you think it'd worth paying a little extra to have a mobile service come to your workplace or your home, and change the oil there while you work or relax? There are a few companies doing that.

You wouldn't ever have to go to an oil change shop and waste all that time and gas. So is that worth an extra $5 to you? $10? Or... ?

Periodically we do specials, so leave a comment to get on the list!

How often should I change the…

We’ve researched this and find that many “experts” disagree on exact numbers. First, check your vehicle owner’s manual. If you don’t have that or need a second opinion, here are some average, ballpark recommendations we’ve come across:

Engine Oil: Here at OnSite OilChange, we change the oil and filter in our personal vehicles every 5,000 miles if we’re using conventional oil, and every 10,000 miles if we’re using full synthetic oil. Some old-timers still insist on doing it every 3,000 miles, but advances in lubricants and engines make this unnecessary under most conditions. Some new cars come with recommendations to do it every 7,500 or at other intervals. This may be okay, but changing the oil often has always been, and still is, the cheapest way to keep your engine running for a long, long time. That's why we do ours every 5,000 miles.

Transmission Fluid: Per your Owner’s Manual or every 30,000 to 40,000 miles is a good idea.

Air Filter: Per Owner’s Manual or once a year depending on dirt and dust conditions.

Power Steering Fluid: Per Owner’s Manual or every 75,000 miles.

Brake Fluid: Per Owner’s Manual or every 50,000 miles.

Coolant / Anti-Freeze: Per Owner’s Manual or every 60,000 to 75,000 miles.

Differential Fluid: Per Owner’s Manual or every 75,000 to 100,000 miles.

NOTE: These are simply what we've seen as being the averages of recommendations by those in the know. The numbers listed here are not hard and fast rules, nor are they definitely a guaranteed way to prevent parts from wearing out (all mechanical parts eventually wear out). Better safe than sorry... in other words, doing regular, basic maintenance will pay off for you in the long run. And it does not have to be a hassle when we come and do it for you at your work or home!

Dealing with a DUI ignition interlock

We do oil & filter change services for folks at their home or work. Recently we've been contacted by a few people who have ignition interlocks on their vehicles (from DUI arrests). We're glad to help them because this relieves them of the hassles and embarrassment of dealing with the interlock to start the vehicle, go to a lube shop and then have to do it all over again so the tech can change the oil & filter. We go to their house or where they work, do the oil change right there, and leave! This sure simplifies things for them.

 If you or someone you know is dealing with this hassle, we can sure help make life easier.
