At 4My Auto, we believe that regular oil and filter changes are essential for maintaining the longevity and performance of your vehicle. Our mechanics are trained to quickly and efficiently perform oil and filter changes to ensure that your vehicle is running at its best.
Oil & Filter Change
Regular oil changes are crucial for keeping your engine lubricated and running smoothly. The oil in your engine helps to reduce friction and wear on the internal parts, which can prolong the life of your engine. Our mechanics will change your oil according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule, using the appropriate grade of oil for your vehicle.
The oil filter is responsible for removing dirt, debris, and other contaminants from your engine oil. Over time, the oil filter can become clogged, which can reduce the effectiveness of your engine oil. Our mechanics will change your oil filter at the same time as your oil change to ensure that your engine is protected from harmful contaminants.
Synthetic Oil vs Conventional Oil:
When it comes to oil changes, you have the option of using synthetic oil or conventional oil. Synthetic oil is man-made and is designed to provide better protection for your engine in extreme temperatures and conditions. Conventional oil is made from natural resources and is less expensive than synthetic oil.
Pros of Synthetic Oil
Provides better protection for your engine in extreme temperatures
Can help to prolong the life of your engine

Can reduce emissions
Cons of Synthetic Oil
More expensive than conventional oil

Pros of Conventional Oil
Less expensive than synthetic oil

Cons of Conventional Oil
May not provide as much protection for your engine in extreme temperatures
May not help to prolong the life of your engine as much as synthetic oil

Ultimately, the choice between synthetic oil and conventional oil will depend on your personal preferences and the specific needs of your vehicle. Our mechanics can help you to make an informed decision based on your driving habits, the types of roads you drive on, and the age and condition of your vehicle.
Regular oil and filter changes are essential to keeping vehicles running smoothly and developing more expensive engine problems.
