One of the simplest, most effective and inexpensive ways to help protect the life of your car, especially its engine, is to change the oil and the oil filter regularly.

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine. It reduces friction, lessens wear, provides lubrication, forms a seal between the pistons, rings and cylinder walls while helping to cool engine parts. Without the cleaning action of new oil, carbon and varnish buildup would be toxic to the engine. And engine oil even dampens the shock and noise of moving parts.

With a Tire Addict oil change, or any other service, you’ll receive a Courtesy Check. We’ll look inside, outside, under the hood and underneath the car, then explain the findings and give you a report.

While you’re there, let us perform a Courtesy Check, which includes a visual check of the following items:

• Engine air filter
• Brake fluid
• Power steering fluid
• Automatic transmission fluid
• Coolant/antifreeze
• We’ll also walk you through your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for replacing these vital fluids and filters.
