Knowing When to Get an Oil Change
Regular oil changes help fight the causes of engine breakdown like high temperatures and sludge build-up. Driving in Southern California, vehicles are subjected to a lot of different factors like stop-and-go driving, dust, and large temperature swings which all put more stress on your engine.
When to get your oil changed can vary depending on the manufacturer and the type of oil your vehicle uses. Generally, it’s recommended to get your oil changed once every 3,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. Keep in mind, a high-quality synthetic Valvoline motor oil can help to increase the time interval for oil changes, as well as provide better performance over its useful life.

FAQ
Why Is a Regular Oil Change Schedule So Important?
A regular schedule of oil changes is one of the most effective ways to extend the life of a vehicle’s engine. The engine oil performs the following:
- Lubricates the moving parts in the engine
- Reduces the heat caused by normal friction
- Absorbs by-products of engine combustion
As the oil in a car gets old, dirty, or low, it can’t do its job to protect the engine. At that point, the piston rings can begin to stick, the engine can overheat, and the engine parts can begin to grind against each other and to wear out. Eventually, the engine will seize up and fail completely.
During an oil change service at Ramona Tire & Service Centers, our ASE-certified mechanics will:
- Remove the old oil
- Replace the old oil filter with a new oil filter
- Top off the vehicle’s other fluids (as needed)
- Rotate the tires (upon request)
- Check the air pressure in the tires
A new engine costs thousands of dollars, while an oil change is one of the least expensive maintenance tasks of all those recommended by car care experts.
Does the Oil Filter Need to Be Changed, Too?
Can I Change the Type of Oil I’ve Been Using in My Car?
First, check your car’s owner’s manual for their advice on this. The manufacturer may indicate a specification and viscosity grade of oil. Or there may be a brand that our Ramona oil change specialists recommend for your specific make and model. They can guide you to options that might provide better performance compared to what you have been using.
Synthetic, synthetic-blend, or conventional oils all have benefits to consider. You can switch back and forth between these oils without causing any problems to your engine. Of course, use the same oil if you are simply topping off the oil that is currently in the engine.
Then, if you want to switch to another type of oil, you can do it during a complete oil change at our auto repair shop in Hemet. We use Valvoline Premium Conventional, Valvoline Synthetic Blend, and Valvoline Full Synthetic oil, which are considered to be the highest-quality motor oils.
Is an Oil Change a DIY task?
The job may be more inconvenient, risky, and messy than you thought. Gaining access to the necessary parts is sometimes difficult. Plus, it can be dangerous, especially if you don’t have a lift for your car. Keep in mind, too, that the used oil has to be disposed of properly.
Getting oil change services done by trained technicians will save you time, money, and hassle.
