Oil Change FAQs in Canton, GA

Oil changes are a given when you get your car. Or at least they should be. This key element of maintenance keeps your car running smoothly and can even extend its lifespan. But how do you go about getting your oil changed? And what's the difference between conventional and synthetic oil, anyway?

Here at Cherokee County Toyota, we want you to be as informed as possible about your car's needs, so keep reading to learn more.

What's the difference between synthetic and conventional oil?

Synthetic oil, as opposed to conventional oil, is refined and distilled. This process breaks the substance down into individual molecules that are better able to meet the demands of many modern engines. Synthetic oils also boast better overall performance and protection than conventional oils.

How often should you change the oil in your vehicle?

Usually somewhere between 5,000 to 10,000 miles. With the variety of synthetic oils available, many vehicles can drive further with the same oil than in the past. As always, talk to your service technician about what's right for your vehicle.

Why should I bring my vehicle to the dealership to have my oil changed?

If you change your oil yourself, that's great. But it's definitely not for everyone. The process is messy and takes a lot of time out of your day. Plus, you need to have all of the supplies on hand to do it. So, if you're not used to doing it yourself, it's a lot easier to trust our expert technicians to get it done quickly and correctly.
