The Importance of Regular Oil Changes on Your Memphis Chevrolet

Why scheduled maintenance is important and why you should choose Chuck Hutton for your oil changes

Though it may be done only about four times per year and may be one of the less expensive maintenance costs on your Memphis Chevrolet, the oil change is an essential service on every vehicle that may mean more than you first think.

Without clean oil, your vehicle definitely wouldn’t be the same. Oil serves three main functions in a combustion engine: keeps components working smoothly together, draws heat away from the combustion chamber and prevents carbon from accumulating in the engine.

As oil is traveling along all of the moving parts, it picks up dirt and other particles that otherwise could have scratched and or damaged closely fitted parts in your vehicle's engine. For this reason, oil needs to be changed and refilled just like your wiper fluid, transmission fluid and brake fluid. While the old adage is every 3,000 miles or 3 months, the timing may be more important.

According to Cars.com, you should trust your odometer, not the calendar. If you commute far distances from work, you may need to come in to get your oil changed every two months. If you have a vehicle that you only take out on weekend cruises, you might be able to come to Chuck Hutton Chevrolet a couple of times a year.

Keeping a regular schedule could help improve the life of your engine, but what about what type of oil to use? The biggest determinate that separates the types of oil is viscosity or thickness or how much resistance a fluid has to flowing. The experts at Chuck Hutton know which oil is right for your Memphis Chevy.

Why pick Chuck Hutton Chevrolet for you oil change?

You may think that you’ll get the same service at a quick-service oil change location that you would at Chuck Hutton, but we want to give you some food for thought:

• More recent GM vehicles need a special synthetic blend. Our prices include this, while quick-service locations may have an extra fee for the synthetic blends.
• Our oil change specials usually include a tire rotation in the price which also helps prevent premature tire replacement. Our competitors may charge for this.
• Chuck Hutton Chevrolet offers a free front-end alignment check not just with your oil change but with any service. We have the state-of-the-art Hunter Alignment computer to help ensure better accuracy, one of the few auto service shops serving Memphis that offers this key component.
