Oil Check
Oil Change - Have you checked your oil?
The engine oil in your vehicle reduces friction and wear on the moving parts inside the engine. The car oil removes residual impurities and helps to cool the mechanical components of your engine.
Although impurities are removed via an oil filter, the quality of your engine oil degrades over time, meaning you need an oil change at regular intervals. How often you’ll need to do this depends on the make and model of your car or van, your driving style, and annual mileage.
We advise customers to get their engine oil checked every year or approximately every 9,000 miles.

Advice 
Check your oil level on a regular basis and top-up if necessary. Even if your vehicle has an electronic gauge, you should still check the level manually. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instruction for checking oil (whether the engine is hot or cold).
To check your oil level, you’ll need to open the bonnet. Look out for the oil can symbol and remove the dipstick. Use a cloth to wipe off any oil. Then replace the dipstick, and remove again. If your oil level is correct, the oil on the dipstick should be between the maximum and minimum marks.
When changing the oil, also change the filter. If a dirty filter is left in place, the new oil will pick up dirt and impurities quicker, reducing its effectiveness and possibly causing damage to your engine.
Always check your oil before a long journey. When you’re about to make a long journey, the last thing you want is a breakdown.
