What happens if I don't do an oil change as often as I should?

Your engine won’t last as long as it could. Oil serves many crucial functions, and clean oil performs those functions better than dirty oil. The good news is that oil is relatively inexpensive, and changing your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles is a very cheap insurance policy against major repairs down the road.

An Oil Change with an engine warranty? Really? Really!

We are proud to have been selected by BG Products, to be one of their premier partners.  Not only do we use BG products for all of  the cars we sell, we can use them in your car too! What’s in it for you?  You can get up to a $4,000 engine warranty simply by having a BG oil service next time you bring your car to Exit5 Auto.

Why Oil Changes are Important

Oil undergoes thermal breakdown due to high temperatures. Then the oil becomes less effective as a lubricant. Without a good lubricant, parts of the engine rub together and wear out. Oil can absorb water and hold them in suspension. Eventually, oil gets saturated with this stuff and can’t absorb any more. Then that stuff remains in the engine and can cause corrosion.

Other Fluid Services

Fuel System Service

Modern fuel injection systems provide accurate fuel monitoring so that when you step on the gas, the fuel injector delivers just the right amount of fuel to your engine. However, due to their complexity, these systems need periodic maintenance to ensure they run efficiently.

Transmission Flush

Exit5 Auto Group is proud to be a BG Product Partner. That means we can offer the Lifetime BG Protection Plan™ if your vehicle has less than 75,000 miles. Simply have the service performed every 3,000 miles and the Protection Plan remains in effect as long as you own your car! Don’t take chances with your vehicle.

Cooling System Flush​

Many people get confused with the difference between a “cooling system flush” and a “drain/refill”.  The truth of the matter is that there is a big difference. While a drain and refill is fairly straight forward and generally not difficult, a flush is much more effective and requires special equipment.

Power Steering

Common in most late model cars, Power Steering helps you easily turn your cars wheels. It may just provide a helpful push or it may do all the work itself in response to the motion of the steering wheel. Either way, turning a vehicle requires less effort than it otherwise would.  It plays a vital role in the way that your car handles and it is important to maintain it on a regular, albeit infrequent basis.

Brake Fluid Flush

It is no secret that brake fluid is essential for the operation of vehicle’s braking system. When you push the brake pedal, the brake fluid causes the brake pads to press against the rotors, making the car slow down and stop. Over time, the brake fluid absorbs air, moisture, sludge and other contaminants and gets compromised. Air in the brake fluid causes braking to feel spongy and significantly reduces braking efficiency. 

Driveline Service

The driveline starts there and includes all of the components that transfer power from the transmission to the wheels.  Most notable are the Differential, Transaxles, and Transfer Cases. That’s not really a lot of components, but they handle the full force of the engine. Without the driveline you’re not moving.
