Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs my car needs an oil change?
Knowing when your car needs an oil change is important. Some common signs include the oil change light turning on, dark and dirty oil on the dipstick, louder engine noise and knocking, and exhaust smoke. If you're driving around Bozeman and notice any of these signs, schedule an oil change service as soon as possible at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Missoula.
How often does my vehicle need an oil change?
The old rule of thumb was to change your oil every 3,000 miles or every three months. However, advances in both car engines and motor oil mean many vehicles can go longer between oil changes. Consult your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval for your specific make and model. Many automakers now recommend oil changes every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, or every six to 12 months, depending on the vehicle. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or harsh conditions around Helena, you may need more frequent changes.
What's the difference between conventional vs. synthetic oil?
Conventional oil is a byproduct of refined crude oil, while synthetic oil is artificially made with chemical compounds. Synthetic oil provides superior lubrication and withstands extreme temperatures better than conventional oil. It also resists oil sludge and deposit build-up. While synthetic oil is more expensive, it can better protect your engine and allow you to go longer between oil changes. Whether you're from Butte or farther away, consult your owner's manual to see if synthetic oil is recommended or required for your vehicle.
Why do regular vehicle oil changes matter?
Oil is essential to your engine. It lubricates, cools, and helps clean the engine. Over time, oil breaks down and gets dirty, reducing its effectiveness. Regular oil and filter changes help extend the life of your vehicle.
