More Than Just Fresh Oil
Engine oil helps lubricate moving components, manage heat, and protect critical engine parts. Maintaining the correct oil level, filtration, and oil condition helps your vehicle perform at its best.
Proper Oil Level
Your engine needs the correct amount of oil to properly lubricate and protect internal components while operating.
Proper Filtration
A properly functioning oil filter helps keep contaminants from circulating through the engine with the oil.
Engine Protection
The correct oil helps protect critical engine components against heat, deposits, sludge, and wear.

Do You Still Need an Oil Change Every 3,000 Miles?
Not necessarily. Many modern GM vehicles are equipped with an Engine Oil Life System that helps determine when an oil change is needed based on vehicle use and operating conditions. Follow your vehicle’s Oil Life System when equipped, along with the recommendations in your Owner’s Manual.

Common Oil Service Questions
Your vehicle’s engine, model year, driving conditions, and manufacturer recommendations all matter when determining the correct oil and service interval.
How do I know which motor oil my vehicle needs?
Check your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for the correct oil grade and specification. Our Certified Service team can also help determine the proper oil for your vehicle during your service visit.
How do I know when my oil needs to be changed?
Many newer GM vehicles are equipped with an Engine Oil Life System. Depending on your vehicle, driving habits, and operating conditions, this can allow longer intervals than the traditional 3,000-mile rule.
Follow your vehicle’s Oil Life System when equipped and refer to your Owner’s Manual for vehicle-specific guidance.
Should I still check my oil if my vehicle has an Oil Life System?
Yes. The Oil Life System helps determine when an oil change is needed, but your engine oil level should still be checked regularly.
Does changing the oil filter matter?
Yes. Proper filtration helps keep the oil circulating through your engine cleaner, which supports lubrication and engine performance.
What if I notice an oil leak or low oil level?
Schedule an inspection if your engine oil is repeatedly low, you notice oil beneath the vehicle, or you suspect the engine may be leaking or burning oil. Simply adding oil does not identify the cause of the loss.
Can I schedule my oil change online?
Yes. Use our online service scheduler to request your next appointment with Mountain Home Auto Ranch Chevrolet GMC Certified Service.
