OIL CHANGES: THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR VEHICLE!

This page will answer many frequently asked questions about oil changes and why they are so important. Enjoy!

The oil change is the single most important maintenance item you can complete on your vehicle! At Chuck Hutton Chevrolet, our factory trained technicians want to help you keep your vehicle running as long as possible so we have put together some useful information on the most common maintenance services that your vehicle will need.

WHY DO I HAVE TO CHANGE MY OIL?

Oil cleans and lubricates the moving parts in your engine. It keeps everything moving freely and also acts as a cooling mechanism. As oil is traveling along all of the moving parts, it picks up dirt and other particles that otherwise could have scratched and or damaged closely fitted parts in your vehicle's engine. The longer the oil stays in your engine, the greater the chance of increased wear due to heat and friction. Regular oil changes keep your engine running more smoothly so you can achieve optimum performance and longevity out of your vehicle.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY OIL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED?

Most vehicles manufactured in the past 5 years have an oil life monitor that tells you what percentage of your oil life is remaining based on your driving habits. The number of miles driven and length of time between changes will vary, but on average it will be about every 4-5 months or 5000 miles. When your oil life gets to 20%, it's time to start thinking about your next service.

WHY SERVICE AT CHUCK HUTTON RATHER THAN JIFFY LUBE (QUICK SERVICE) OR ANY OTHER DEALERSHIP IN Memphis?

It is a common misconception that servicing your vehicle at a dealership is more expensive than at a quick lube shop such as Jiffy Lube. While the listed price for an oil change may appear cheaper, you must consider a few important things:

  • We include a FREE front end alignment check with every service. We are one of very few service shops in the Memphis area that feature state of the art Hunter Alignment computers.
  • We include a FREE external carwash with every service! At the quick lube, you are luck just to get your windshield wiped off.
  • Our factory trained technicians are GM product experts! Additionally, our technicians are ASE certified and have extensive knowledge across other product lines, allowing us to service all makes and models.
  • At Chuck Hutton Chevrolet, when you buy 5 oil changes, your 6th is FREE!

We don't just service Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Buick, Hummer, Saturn, Cadillac, and Oldsmobile! In addition to all of these GM products, we also service Acura, BMW, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Nissan, Mazda, Kia, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Scion, and more!
