Oil is a necessary part of keeping your Mazda engine running smoothly,
and it needs to be replaced regularly to avoid costly repairs to your car. To
get an oil change near Scranton, PA, with Genuine Mazda Premium Oil, look no further than Kelly Mazda. And if you’re unsure whether you need a Mazda oil change, check on these factors first.
1: Check Your Windshield Mileage Sticker
Do you know that little sticker on the top left corner of your windshield?
It’s put there during oil change service with the date and mileage range listed
to remind you to schedule your next appointment.
2: Check the Oil Level
Pop the hood and use the dipstick to check the level of your oil. Make sure
that the amount falls between the minimum and maximum lines. If you’re low,
it’s time to schedule an oil change service.
3: Check the Color and Texture of Your Oil
While you have the dipstick out, take a look at the color and texture. Make
sure the oil is completely cool before attempting to touch it. New oil is light
brown, translucent, and smooth to the touch.
4: Note the Way Your MAZDA Handles
If your car is shaking or vibrating when you are idling, it may be a sign
that your car needs an oil change.
5: Pay Attention to Unusual Noises from the Engine
If your car is taking its time to start, or makes a ticking or knocking
sound, it could be that your oil is old and taking more time to distribute.
If any of the above apply to your car,
schedule
a service appointment with the experts at Kelly Mazda today. We hope to see
you soon!
