Many vehicles now have a gizmo that tells you when it's time to change the oil. Some vehicles have a light. Others display a message.
Why have manufacturers put this on their vehicles? Did they do this out of the goodness in their hearts? Or to save you money? I think not.
Then, why? That gizmo is on your vehicle for one thing and one thing only; to make sure your engine gets past the warranty period. After that, you're on your own!
Is that what you want… for your engine to just get past the warranty? Of course not! You want your engine to get past the warranty period PLUS A QUARTER-MILLION MILES.
Recently, we've seen vehicles with less than 90,000 miles that have worn out engines. How can you prevent that from happening to your engine? Change to motor oil and filter more frequently. The American Petroleum Institute still recommends changing motor oil and filter every three months or 3,000 miles, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
Look at it this way. At Clearview Tire and Auto Service, a typical oil change is around $25, tax included. Let's say that you change the oil just one extra time a year. Over ten years you'll spend an extra $250. An engine can cost $5,000 or more. It's a no-brainer. That's another reason so many people say “TAKE IT TO CLEARVIEW!” See our Coupon page for discount coupons.
