Oil Changes in Port Jeff, NY

Oil Change Frequency

It's a good idea to refer to your owner's manual to determine how often you should be changing the oil in your specific model. Every vehicle is different, and the type of oil that you need may vary from model to model as well. It's a good idea to bring your vehicle into our Port Jefferson location once every six months or so, depending on how much mileage you've put on. We can help you figure out a good schedule if you're still not sure.

Synthetic Versus Conventional

When you select the type of oil that you're going to use for your vehicle, you have the option to choose between synthetic oil and conventional oil. Synthetic oil is a man-made product. It's typically very consistent because of this. You may also be able to get more mileage out of an oil change when you use synthetic oil. Conventional oil is a natural product. It may cost a little more, but some people prefer to put high-quality conventional oil in their vehicles. It's entirely up to you what you choose. Don't worry if you decide to change your mind later on. It's a myth that you have to stick with one or the other for the entire duration of the vehicle's lifetime.
