Oil Change Indianapolis IN

ENGINE OIL LIFE SYSTEM

Most Chevrolet vehicles are equipped with the engine Oil Life System (OLS). This system interprets your vehicle’s speed and engine temperature and continuously monitors operating conditions—which helps determine when it’s time for an oil change.

The OLS monitors a number of conditions including engine revolutions, engine temperature, and miles driven to let you know precisely when to come in for an oil change. As soon as the OLS light comes on, you know it’s time for service. It’s a simple, effective way to help you save money and help reduce oil waste.

CHECKING YOUR OIL LEVEL 

It’s a good idea to periodically check your oil level. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil must be warm, at normal operating temperature, and the vehicle must be on level ground. Always consult your Chevrolet vehicle Owner’s Manual for the proper procedure to check your oil level. You’ll get a more accurate dipstick reading by following those instructions.

WHAT THE CERTIFIED SERVICE EXPERTS LOOK FOR DURING YOUR MULTI-POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION

Remaining Engine Oil Life

A quick inspection will determine your vehicle’s remaining oil life percentage (applicable to vehicles with the GM Oil Life System). This may be helpful, especially if you are approaching your next oil change.

Tire Wear

Your tires are what keep you moving safely down the road. The Certified Service experts check to make sure your tires are properly aligned, balanced, and in top shape. This will help ensure the optimum performance and safety of your vehicle.

Wiper Blades and Glass Condition

Your wiper blades are essential, especially when it’s raining. The operation and condition of front and rear wipers are checked to make sure they will work well when you need them. A visual inspection of your windshield is completed to check for cracks or chips and may help prevent further damage down the road.

Fluid Levels 

Fluid levels are checked, including brake reservoir and windshield washer, to be sure they are at optimal levels.

Brakes

To help keep your brakes performing their best, an inspection is performed on the condition of your brake system, including lines, hoses, and parking brake as well as measurements of front and rear linings.

Battery Condition and Connections

No one wants to be stuck with a dead car battery! A quick battery test will determine the health of your battery, and a visual inspection will check to be sure the battery cables and connections are in top working order

OnStar Subscription

A brief assessment will make sure you are connected with your OnStar system subscription

Additional Car Inspections

An additional vehicle inspection of critical systems is performed to check for visible leaks that might indicate a concern. The condition of other vehicle components is also visually inspected.

OIL CHANGE FAQ 

Q: What do I need to do when my "Change Engine Oil Soon" message displays?
A: When the "Change Engine Oil Soon” message appears, oil change service is necessary for the vehicle as soon as possible, within the next 600 miles.
Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life system to work properly, the system must be reset every time the oil is changed. Boucher Chevrolet has Certified Service expert technicians who will perform this work and reset the system. =

Q: How can I be sure to get the correct type of motor oil for my vehicle?
A:  Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual or visit the Chevrolet Certified Service experts at Andy Mohr Speedway Chevrolet to be sure you get the proper oil for your vehicle. For 2011 or newer vehicles, dexos1^TM Full Synthetic is the recommended oil specification (dexos1^TM for gasoline engines, dexos2^TM for light-duty diesel engines, 15W40 CJ-4 for Duramax diesel engines). Advantages of dexos1^TM Full Synthetic over conventional motor oil include improved oil performance and protection, increased piston cleanliness, reduced oil consumption, and greater viscosity control.

Q: I’ve heard that I should change my oil every 3,000 miles. Is that still true?
A: The majority of today’s Chevrolet vehicles are equipped with the Engine Oil Life System, which has made the 3,000-mile oil change obsolete. Depending on the age of the vehicle, driving habits, and road conditions, vehicles with today’s advanced engines may be able to go longer than 3,000 miles between oil changes. Always be sure to check your engine oil level regularly, even with an Engine Oil Life System.

Q: Does regularly changing my oil filter help with the life of my engine?
A: Yes, because it helps ensure your engine is lubricated with clean oil which can help provide optimal engine performance. See your vehicle owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval, or follow the oil life monitoring system, if equipped.

Q: Do I need a new filter every time I get an oil change?
A: Yes, having your oil and oil filter changed, at least as often as recommended by the manufacturer, is important.
