Regular oil servicing is one of the most important steps in maintaining your vehicle’s health. Whether you drive daily through Manukau traffic or take long trips across Auckland, clean engine oil helps your engine stay efficient, smooth, and reliable. At Quattro Auto, we provide a complete and professional oil service designed to protect your engine and improve overall performance.
Why Regular Oil Maintenance Matters
Engine oil does more than just keep parts moving. It cools internal components, reduces friction, prevents metal-to-metal wear, and carries away contaminants. Over time, oil loses its protective qualities and becomes less effective. When this happens, your engine has to work harder, which can lead to overheating, reduced performance, and unnecessary repairs.
Changing your oil before it becomes too old or dirty is the best way to avoid long-term engine issues.
How Often Should You Change Your Oil?
Every vehicle has a different maintenance schedule, but most modern cars benefit from an oil service every:
- Most vehicles require an oil change at around 10,000 km or every 6 months.
- Some synthetic oils allow extended intervals of up to 15,000 km or 1 year, depending on manufacturer recommendations.
- Certain vehicles have longer service intervals because they use specialised long-life oils designed for extended protection.
If your driving habits include short trips, towing, stop-start traffic around Manukau, or carrying heavy loads, the oil may need to be replaced sooner. Checking your owner’s manual is always recommended, but if you’re unsure, our technicians can guide you based on your vehicle type and condition.
Signs You May Need an Oil Service
Bring your vehicle in for an inspection if you notice:
- Oil that looks dark, thick, or dirty on the dipstick
- Engine running warmer than usual
- Reduced fuel economy
- Unusual engine noise or ticking
- A dashboard oil light
- Strong exhaust fumes
These symptoms often mean the oil has lost its ability to protect your engine.
