Are you aware that engines oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle? It’s true. To extend the life of your vehicle, you should always replace the oil and oil filter according to your manufacturers recommended guidelines. Simply put, clean oil reduces friction between mechanical parts in your vehicles engine, reducing wear and ultimately extending the life of the engine. 

You can tell if your oil needs to be changed by inspecting the oil dipstick. If the oil is healthy, it will be light brown in color and clear of specks. If your oil appears darker or has flecks in it or smells burnt, it is time to schedule an appointment with Brake Masters to have your oil and filter changed.
