Affordable Full-Service Oil Change In Bradenton, FL

Changing your car's oil is one of the most common and frequent services you'll need. Regular use gradually turns your vehicle's oil dirty and grainy, which affects the car's performance and even its fuel efficiency. During an oil change, old oil is removed and replaced with new, clean oil.

A vehicle that has not had an oil change in a while may start to show significant performance issues, such as sputtering, stalling, or even overheating. Regular oil changes can prevent these problems. Gettel Hyundai of Lakewood's technicians can perform oil changes on any Hyundai model.

Visit our dealership's service department when your vehicle needs an oil change. Online appointments are available at your convenience.

How Often Should You Change Your Vehicle's Oil?

In recent years, guidelines have changed regarding how often drivers should get their oil changed. It was previously recommended that automakers and mechanics perform this service every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever came first. Improvements in engines and engine oils, however, have allowed car owners to delay oil changes a little longer. It is now generally recommended to change your oil every 7,500 miles.

The situation is, however, somewhat flexible. Newer vehicles, for instance, may not need oil changes every 10,000 miles, while older, out-of-warranty cars should get oil changes sooner than the 7,500-mile interval. When using synthetic oil, change the oil every 10,000 miles. More information can also be found in your vehicle’s owner's manual.
