How Oil Change is Done at Orion Automotive
- Oil Drain and Filter Replacement: The first step involves the removal of used oil from your car’s engine. We can then change the oil filter to a high-quality filter that is actually made for European cars to promote good oil circulation.
- Inspection and Recommendations: Our technicians examine the state of the removed engine oil and if the oil has any metallic debris that may signify a problem.
- Adding New Oil: We apply synthetic or semi-synthetic oil as recommended for European cars such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and Porshe. The new oil does not only act as a lubricant but also as a washing, cooling, and anti-wear medium for the engine parts.
- Check and Test: Once the right grade and quantity of oil has been put in your engine, we check for any leakage and then switch on the engine to confirm that all is well.
Our Oil Change Services
- High-Quality Oil Filters: During any oil change we always ensure to provide OEM or better quality filters for your vehicle. This component makes sure that the engine is clean by providing the best cleaning surface. If you do not replace the filter, the impurities and contaminants from the old filter will rub off on the new oil and may cause early contamination.
- Comprehensive Engine Inspection: Every time your car comes in for an oil change, we carry out a complete diagnostic check of your engine to detect faults such as leaks, and worn-out belts among others. This way, we save you money from expensive repairs that would have been needed if the problem was not discovered until later and also make sure that your vehicle is well-tuned for optimum performance.
- Manufacturer-Recommended Oil Types: We stick to the manufacturer’s guidelines for oil type and grade so that your car can receive the right oil for its special needs. No matter the type of oil that is required, whether it is synthetic, synthetic blends, or conventional, we have the right product for your car.
FAQs About Oil Changes
What kind of oil should I use in my European car?
European vehicles need synthetic or semi-synthetic oil because most of their cars are equipped with high-performance engines. Running your vehicle on conventional oil may not give your engine the protection it requires, much less in extreme conditions.
When is the right time to change the car oil?
Some of the earliest indications include a thick or black coloration of oil on the dipstick, lower fuel economy, and an oil change light flashing on your car’s dashboard.
Do you use high quality parts and fluids?
Yes, we use OEM quality filters and recommended oils that match the manufacturer's requirements for every vehicle for quality and reliability.
Can I delay the frequency of oil change if I am not frequently using the car?
Oil does not last forever, so even if you do not drive many miles in your car, it will still degrade as time goes by. The best thing that a car owner should do is to change the oil of the car at least once every twelve months to ensure that the car is healthy.
