What do oil and filter change services include?

Regular oil and filter changes are one of the most important parts of vehicle maintenance. Fresh motor oil keeps your engine lubricated, reduces wear, absorbs heat, and helps remove dirt and debris. A new filter ensures contaminants don’t circulate back into the engine, keeping your car running at peak performance. 

If you’ve been searching for a car oil change service, oil filter near me, or a mobile oil and filter change near me, you can book a professional mechanic to handle the job quickly and efficiently. Here’s what you can expect when getting an oil and filter change:

Oil and Filter Assessment

When you book a car oil change service, the mechanic will first inspect your vehicle before draining the old engine oil and replacing the filter. This process starts with warming up the motor oil, then lifting the vehicle to locate the drain plug. An oil pan is placed underneath to safely drain out the used oil, preparing your car for fresh lubrication. This step is essential if you’re searching for a change oil and filter near me or a mobile oil and filter change near me, as the inspection ensures everything is in working order before the replacement begins.

Oil and Filter Replacement

Once the old engine oil is fully drained, the mechanic will remove the used filter with a wrench. To prevent leaks, a small amount of fresh oil is applied to the gasket before fitting the new filter securely. The mechanic then adds the correct grade and quantity of engine oil using a funnel for precision. Whether you’re booking a mobile oil and filter change or visiting a workshop for an oil filter near me, this step ensures your engine runs smoothly with clean lubrication.

Final Inspection and Testing

After fitting the new oil and filter, the mechanic will start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This helps confirm that the oil is circulating properly and that there are no leaks around the drain plug or filter. Finally, they will use a dipstick to check the oil level and make sure it matches the correct reading. If you’ve been looking for a reliable oil change and filter near me, this final step gives peace of mind that your car’s engine is protected and operating at its best.
