What Does a Full-Service Oil Change Include?

During a full-service oil change, Vereeniging Tyres will:

• Change your vehicle's motor oil using full synthetic oil, synthetic blend, or high mileage motor oil, depending on your vehicle
• Replace and recycle your cars used oil and oil filter
• When an oil change service is referred to as an "Oil, Lube & Filter," the"lube" is a chassis lubrication where the mechanic applies grease to various steering and suspension joints under the car. Most modern cars are manufactured with sealed-for-life joints that do not have grease fittings; however if any of these parts were replaced, the new parts probably do have lubrication points and must be greased to prevent premature wear. If you have had parts replaced, make sure that the mechanic know sit or he may overlook them.
• Doing an oil change yourself does not require much skill, but crawling under a car and having oil drip down your sleeve is hardly worth the R200 or so that you might save. Then,you have to deal with the old oil and filter. I could think of a more productive way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Perform a courtesy inspection, where the automotive technician will:

• Top off fluids (including window washer fluid and engine coolant)
• Check vehicle lights (including signals and brake lights)
• Lubricate chassis as necessary
• Inspect belts, hoses, steering, suspension, skid plates and undercarriage
• Check windshield wipers
• Check car battery
• Visually inspect for vehicle damage
