Why this matters
Oil keeps moving parts separated and carries heat away from the engine. Once it breaks down, wear speeds up quietly—usually long before you hear anything. Regular changes are the cheapest protection your engine gets, and in stop-and-go Scarborough traffic engines work harder than the highway numbers suggest.

Oil Change — questions we hear often
How often should I change my oil?
Follow the interval in your owner's manual first. Many newer vehicles run 8,000–12,000 km on full synthetic, while older engines and heavy city driving often do better closer to 5,000–8,000 km. Tell us how you drive and we will suggest a realistic interval.
Do you use the oil my manufacturer specifies?
Yes. We use the viscosity and specification listed for your engine. If you prefer a particular brand, let us know when you book.
Can I wait while it is done?
Most oil changes are completed the same day and many while you wait. Booking ahead gives you the shortest wait.
