For those of you who were unaware, knowing when to change your oils and filters is key to keeping your vehicle healthy in the long run. Unfortunately, this is one of the areas that our vehicle service center cannot take care of ourselves.

Autofocus in Greensboro, NC highly recommends that drivers check their car's oil regularly, basically every time a driver fills up their tank at the gas station. Checking your oil is easy, all you need to do is pop the hood of your car, lift and remove the dipstick from the oil tank. Doing this, will give you a reading of how much oil your car is using as well as number of other readings.

For example, if you notice that your car's oil is bubbly or foamy, has a milky texture or smells like gasoline, then it might be time to get a new filter. These signs indicate that there is a water/ fuel contamination, as well as faulty oil levels. In either case, it's good to know these signs and bring your car into our dealership for our service team.
