What does an oil change include?
An oil change drains the old engine oil, replaces the oil filter, and refills the engine with the oil grade and amount your owner's manual calls for. If your car has an oil life reminder, it should be reset afterward. Ace AutoFix does oil changes on any brand of car and on gas or light-duty trucks in Durango, priced as labor and parts with no supply, ordering, or disposal fees.

What happens during an oil change?
The basic job has three parts. The old engine oil drains out of the oil pan. The old oil filter comes off and a new one goes on. Then the engine is refilled with fresh oil in the grade and amount your owner's manual lists, and the level is checked before the car goes back to you.
If your car has an oil life reminder on the dash, it should be reset so it counts from the new oil. Depending on the vehicle, a new drain plug washer or gasket can be part of the job too.
Does an oil change include a new oil filter?
It should. The filter traps the dirt and metal bits the oil picks up as it moves through the engine. Running fresh oil through an old filter shortchanges the new oil. When you compare oil change quotes, ask whether a new filter is included. At Ace AutoFix, an engine oil change means the oil and the filter.
What kind of oil goes in my car?
Your owner's manual names the oil grade, such as 0W-20 or 5W-30, and whether the engine needs synthetic oil. Many newer engines call for synthetic. Follow the manual rather than a habit from an older car. Ace AutoFix changes the oil and filter to the spec for your vehicle, and we explain the work before it starts.
When is my next oil change due?
Use the mileage or time in your owner's manual, whichever comes first. Many manuals also list a severe-service schedule for towing, dusty or unpaved roads, lots of short trips, or mountain driving. Durango sits at about 6,512 feet, and climbing the passes on US-550 works an engine hard, so staying on time matters. How often should I change oil at high altitude? goes deeper.

What else can I get done during an oil change visit?
An oil change is a good time to handle other maintenance while the car is already in. At Ace AutoFix you can ask for a tire rotation, a cabin air filter, an engine air filter, or wiper blades at the same visit.
