ENGINE PROTECTION

Why Engine Oil Matters

Engine oil does much more than keep components slippery. As oil circulates through the engine, it helps reduce friction and wear, carries contaminants toward the filter, helps manage heat and contains additives designed to help protect engine components.

Over time, oil can degrade and become less effective. Regular service helps maintain the lubrication and protection your engine is designed to receive.

  • Reduces friction between moving engine components
  • Helps limit engine wear
  • Helps carry contaminants toward the oil filter
  • Helps transfer heat away from engine components
  • Helps protect against rust and corrosion
  • Supports efficient engine operation

COMPLETE OIL SERVICE

An Oil Change Is More Than Just Changing the Oil

A proper oil service combines the correct engine oil with a new filter and an opportunity to identify other maintenance concerns.

01

Correct Engine Oil

The appropriate oil type, viscosity and specification depend on the vehicle and engine requirements.

02

New Oil Filter

The oil filter captures contaminants as oil circulates through the engine and should be replaced as part of routine oil service.

03

Maintenance Inspection

An oil-change visit is an opportunity to identify other maintenance needs before they become larger problems.

KNOW YOUR OIL

Which Oil Does Your Vehicle Need?

Oil selection should be based on your vehicle's engine and manufacturer requirements rather than simply choosing the most expensive oil.

Conventional Oil

Conventional motor oil is refined from mineral oil and may be specified for certain engines and applications.

Synthetic Blend

Synthetic blends combine conventional and synthetic base oils and may be specified for certain vehicle applications.

Full Synthetic

Full synthetic oil is highly refined and may provide characteristics suited to engines with specific performance and operating requirements.

Use the manufacturer's specification. Your owner's manual or vehicle maintenance information is the best source for the required oil viscosity, specification and service interval.

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Oil Change Service FAQs

How often should I change my oil?

Oil-change intervals vary by vehicle, engine, oil specification and driving conditions. Follow the maintenance schedule for your specific vehicle and consult your owner's manual or service advisor when you're unsure.

Does my vehicle need synthetic oil?

The correct oil depends on the vehicle and engine requirements. Check the owner's manual or manufacturer maintenance information for the required oil type, viscosity and specification.

Why should the oil filter be changed?

The oil filter captures contaminants carried through the engine oil. Replacing the filter as part of routine oil service helps maintain effective filtration.

How do I know if my oil level is low?

Check the oil level according to the procedure in your owner's manual. If the level is dropping faster than expected, have the vehicle inspected for a possible leak or other concern.

What does dark engine oil mean?

Oil naturally changes as it circulates and collects contaminants. A change in color alone does not determine whether service is due, so follow the vehicle's maintenance schedule and have unusual oil condition concerns inspected.

Can an oil leak damage my engine?

An oil leak can lower the engine's oil level and should be inspected. If you notice oil beneath the vehicle, a burning-oil smell or an unusually low oil level, have the vehicle checked promptly.

Do you service vehicles other than Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram?

Yes. Turlock CDJR's service department provides professional service for all makes and models, and its Express Lane is listed as available for most makes and models.
