Oil Changes

Keeping your car in peak condition includes many important maintenance operations. On the top of the list is keeping up on oil changes. S&S Tire recommends changes every 3,000 miles, or in accordance with your car manufacturer’s recommendations.

Oil changes are vital to keep your car running smoothly, and cost-effective because they keep it operating efficiently. Frequent oil changes will also help you avoid costly repairs down the road.
S&S Tire features the Valvoline family of products.

S&S Tire will:

• Replace oil with a high quality product

S&S Tire carries a vast array of conventional, semi-synthetic, and synthetic oil as well as high mileage oil designed for cars with more than 75,000 miles.

Why are oil changes necessary?
High operating temperatures eventually lead to the thermal breakdown of oil, making it less effective as a lubricant. Lubricant is essential in the prevention of engine parts rubbing together and wearing down.

There are also acid neutralizing additives in oil, which decrease in effectiveness over time. Additionally, oil eventually becomes saturated with dust, water and combustion residues that cause engine corrosion.

Without regular oil changes, your engine will not perform as long as it should. Oil performs many essential functions, and clean oil will perform much more efficiently than dirty oil. Oil changes provide a relatively inexpensive insurance policy against larger problems down the road.
