Keep your engine healthy with our comprehensive Oil and Filter Change
At Preston MOT & Garage, we understand the importance of regular maintenance to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. One essential aspect of vehicle care is the oil and filter change. Regularly changing your oil and filter is crucial for the overall health and longevity of your engine. With our reliable oil and filter change service, we offer convenient and efficient oil and filter change services to keep your vehicle in optimal condition.
Why is an Oil and Filter Change Important?
The oil in your vehicle's engine plays a vital role in lubricating its moving parts, reducing friction, and preventing wear and tear. Over time, the oil can become contaminated with dirt, debris, and other particles that can affect its effectiveness. This is where the oil filter comes into play. The oil filter traps these impurities, preventing them from circulating back into the engine. However, over time, both the oil and filter can become saturated with contaminants, leading to decreased performance and potential engine damage.
It's essential to be aware of the signs that indicate it’s time for an oil and filter change. Some common indicators include:
- The oil on the dipstick appears dark and dirty.
- Your engine sounds louder or runs rougher than usual.
- You notice a decrease in fuel efficiency.
- The "check engine" light illuminates your dashboard.
- You experience a burning smell coming from your engine.
If you encounter any of these signs, it's crucial to bring your vehicle to Preston MOT & Garage for a professional inspection and oil and filter change.

How Often Should You Change Your Oil and Filter?
The frequency of oil and filter changes can vary depending on several factors, such as your vehicle's make and model, driving conditions, and oil type. As a general guideline, most manufacturers recommend changing the oil and filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every three to six months. However, it's always best to consult your vehicle's owner manual or reach out to our knowledgeable technicians at Preston MOT & Garage for personalized advice.
