Oil Change

The Quick Lane Difference For Your Vehicle Oil Change

Oil Change Services in New Braunfels, TX

So many oil change services are available, choosing the right one for safety and performance can get a bit confusing.

In short, not all oil change services are the same.

Some offer a quick oil and lube–in and out in record time. Yet, that generally is not enough to keep your vehicle performing at peak condition. Worse, some critical items get overlooked when the emphasis is on speed of delivery and lowest cost.

How do you know when your vehicle is due for an oil change service?

The answer depends on the age of the vehicle and how often you use it. While new engines may not require a 3,000-mile oil change, older vehicles may benefit from more frequent servicing.

Traditional gas-powered engines and hybrid vehicles have different requirements than all-electric vehicles, which do not require oil changes. Traditional oil change services must be performed at routine intervals to keep the engine operating smoothly and replace oil that breaks down with wear.

Different manufacturers have different requirements since all engines vary. Refer to your owner’s manual for specific details regarding your make and model. Common mileage intervals for oil change services:

  • 3,000 miles
  • 5,000-7,000 miles
  • Older vehicles 3,000 miles

Climate, mileage and driving conditions encountered in New Braunfels and the Texas Hill Country may influence the requirements for your vehicle. For more information, please contact our oil change experts at Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center at Bluebonnet Motors in New Braunfels.

Oil change service tips for improved performance and safety

The Works oil change package helps improve your vehicle performance and extends the life of your vehicle.

Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center of New Braunfels offers important safety services as part of your regular oil change and filter replacement.

We recommend the following tips to keep your vehicle operating in peak condition:

  1. Perform vehicle safety and maintenance inspections on every oil change service. At a minimum, you should get a vehicle inspection every spring and, in the fall, especially if you live in climates with severe weather found in places such as New Braunfels, TX.

  2. Give older vehicles some special attention. As a vehicle odometer hits 75,000 miles, the need for oil changes and routine maintenance becomes more important. The pros at Quick Lane of New Braunfels check critical components for wear. For instance, new belts and hoses may be required around 100,000 miles.

  3. Look at signs of tire wear and inflation. Every time you get an oil change, and before every road trip, ask your service advisor to check your tires. The tire pros at Quick Lane of New Braunfels can spot wear patterns or sidewall damage that might leave your family stranded far from home.

  4. Discuss any unusual noises you hear when using your vehicle's brakes. Routine oil and lube services offer the perfect opportunity to make sure your vehicle brake system is working properly. A Brake inspection is included in The Works package.  Do you hear any squeaks or squeals? Tell your advisor at Quick Lane of New Braunfels – our Quick Lane expert brake specialists can inspect and identify brake system issues. Learn more about our brake service.

  5. Ask for a list of services included with your oil change package. The cheapest oil change service is not necessarily the best option for the long-term health and safety of your vehicle. Ask for a list of services performed. Does it include complimentary topping of fluids and lubricating applicable chassis? Are there certified technicians who can inspect important engine and safety components such as vehicle brakes and hoses? Does it include rotating tires? Alignment check?

  6. Insist on rotating tires, inspecting tire inflation and checking wheel alignment as part of routine oil change service. All tire manufacturers recommend regular rotation as part of your normal vehicle maintenance routines. Tire services extend tread life and improve safety for your family.

Choosing the Right Oil For Your Vehicle in New Braunfels, TX

There’s a long list of oil products and the decision on which one is best for your vehicle can be daunting. Should you use conventional oil, synthetic products, synthetic blend or “high mileage” fluid designed for older vehicles?

Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center of New Braunfels makes it easy to decide.

Our oil change experts understand the differences between oil grades and oil blends, and they can recommend the best oil fluid replacement for your vehicle and driving conditions.

Oil grade codes

Oil codes act as a guide for the most appropriate fluid for your vehicle.

An oil type listed as “10W-40” generally is used for vehicles driven in mild climates. In contrast, a “0W-30” delivers better engine performance in cold climates.

The “W” stands for winter and the number preceding it refers to a cold weather viscosity. The lower the number, the less viscous oil will be at low temperatures.

For instance, an oil classified as “0W” flows better at colder temperatures than “10W” oil.

Numbers shown after the “W” refer to the oil’s viscosity in warmer weather temperatures. The higher the number, the thicker the oil at a specified temperature.

Typically, a “30” or “40” grade of oil is used for drivers in warmer climates.

Check your vehicle owner’s manual for specific recommendations for your driving conditions.

Or simply ask your Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center at Bluebonnet Motors in New Braunfels for help choosing the right product. Our oil change experts are familiar with the climate in the Texas Hill Country and surrounding areas of New Braunfels including San Antonio, San Marcos, Hunter and Selma.

Our advisors and technicians are happy to assist you. Not only do we work here, we live here and face the same driving conditions.

Tips on choosing the right replacement oil for your vehicle:

  1. Most sedans, SUVs and trucks can use traditional or synthetic oils while high-performance engines need specially formulated oil.

  2. Synthetic oil is a higher grade of oil designed to perform better and last longer.

  3. Older vehicles might benefit from using high-mileage oil. Oil designed for high-mileage engines have better viscosity and thickness compared to conventional oil. The thicker fluid compensates for wear and tear on the engine. It also offers seal conditioners, antioxidants, detergents and additives useful for older engines.

  4. Synthetic oil evaporates slower than conventional oil. It offers better resistance to high temperatures as well as low temperatures found in the New Braunfels region. Synthetic oil also provides additives to help your vehicle’s engine operate better.

Oil change and other services are critical for the health of your vehicle and safety of your family. Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center New Braunfels can help keep your vehicle running in peak condition.
