Oil Change – Ringwood

Fresh oil keeps your engine’s moving parts lubricated and protected, and letting it go too long between changes can lead to increased wear. At FitnFix Auto, we carry out oil changes on all makes and models, using the correct oil specification for your engine.

How Often Should My Car’s Oil Be Changed?

Most manufacturers recommend an oil change once a year or every 10,000 to 12,000 miles, though this varies depending on the engine and how the car is driven. Cars used mainly for short journeys often benefit from more frequent changes, since the oil doesn’t reach optimal temperature as often.

Signs Your Oil Needs Changing

• The oil warning light appearing on the dashboard
• The engine sounding louder or rougher than usual
• Oil that looks very dark, thick, or gritty on the dipstick
• Increased fuel consumption

Does the Type of Oil Matter?

Yes, significantly. Modern engines are designed around specific oil specifications, and using the wrong type can affect performance and, in some cases, cause damage over time. We always use oil that matches your manufacturer’s specification, whether that’s fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, or mineral-based.

What’s Included in an Oil Change?

An oil change includes draining the old oil, replacing the oil filter, and refilling with the correct grade and quantity of oil for your engine. We’ll also check the oil level and condition again shortly after to confirm everything’s settled correctly.
