Additional Information About the Service
Engine oil is a vital fluid for your engine. It lubricates, cools, and protects it from wear and corrosion. Along with the oil, the filter plays a crucial role - it cleans the oil of dirt and particles that can damage the engine. Without regular replacement of the filter and oil, engine performance deteriorates, leading to increased wear and potential breakdowns.
Preparation and Diagnostics
Before we begin, we drain the old oil through a special opening or using suction equipment. Then we carefully inspect the oil filter and check the engine's operation using diagnostic equipment. This helps identify any potential issues and ensures that the replacement goes smoothly.
Replacement Process and Filter Selection
Removing the old filter requires care - sometimes it can be stuck, so we have special tools to do this quickly and without damage. We select a filter that perfectly fits your vehicle to ensure maximum engine protection. Oil Filter Replacement is performed alongside oil replacement, as only a new filter guarantees the cleanliness and quality of the lubrication.
Inspection and Recommendations
After installing the new filter and filling with fresh oil, we start the engine and check the oil pressure and for any leaks. Our specialists also leave a sticker with the date and mileage for the next change, so you won’t forget about timely maintenance. Regularly performing this procedure helps avoid costly repairs and extends the lifespan of your engine.
