WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN OIL CHANGE & AN OIL SERVICE?

When your vehicle needs an oil change, you may find that dealerships and auto repair shops offer either an oil change or an oil change service. You’ll especially see an oil change service offered by dealerships. 

But what is the real difference between an oil change and an oil change service?

For most auto repair shops and convenient oil-lube establishments, an oil change means the oil gets drained out and changed. Pretty simple. It is often the less expensive of the two options.

An oil change service, however, is the changing of the oil; plus a safety inspection that examines the oil filter, cabin filter, a check of brake pads, tires, fluids, etc. The price for an oil change service is usually higher because of the extra care, value, and reports placed into the inspection.

If you are in a pinch and you need an oil change in a hurry, you can get away with a quick oil change without issue. However, if you take the time to include the safety inspection of an oil change service, your car and your long-term repair costs will benefit.

The next time your family vehicle, work vehicle, or fleet vehicles require an oil change, the best option is to pay a visit to the auto mechanics and diesel mechanics at Mast Service Center in Etna Green. We will assess your vehicle’s needs based on your driving habits and the make and model of your vehicle. In our shop, we advise erring on the side of caution when it comes to oil changes. An oil and filter change isn’t an expensive procedure. If one extra oil change every year saves you the cost of a major repair in your vehicle’s lifetime, then that extra oil and filter change will readily pay for themselves. We will do our best to give you the information you need to make good auto repair decisions for your driving habits.
