Motor oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine, reducing friction and wear. It also helps to cool the engine, while cleaning dirt and sludge. But remember, engine oil breaks down with time and should be replaced regularly for maximum effectiveness. Be assured, at Vogel Motors we follow the manufacturer’s guidelines, ensuring the right services for your vehicle at the right time.

Oil Changes

One of the simplest, most effective and inexpensive ways to help protect the life of your car, especially its engine, is to change the oil and the oil filter regularly.

Oil is the pretty much lifeblood of your engine. It reduces friction, lessens wear, provides lubrication, forms a seal between the pistons, rings and cylinder walls while helping to cool engine parts. Without the cleaning action of new oil, carbon and varnish buildup would be toxic to the engine. And engine oil even dampens the shock and noise of moving parts.

Engine oil and filter services are our technicians most frequently recommended service. And with our oil change, or any other service. We’ll look inside, outside, under the hood and underneath the car, then explain the findings and give you a written report.

Oil filters
Oil filters are designed to trap foreign particles suspended in the oil and prevent them from getting to the engine bearings and other parts.

Air Filters
Clean air filters can increase engine performance, increase fuel economy and reduce engine wear. Cabin air filters can minimize airborne contaminants in the passenger compartment and improve heating/cooling efficiency.

Automatic Transmission Fluid
This is oil used in a transmission that lubricates and cools the transmission and shifts gears automatically.

Brake Fluid
This is the hydraulic fluid used to transmit pressure through the brake lines in a brake system.

Coolant/antifreeze
This is the mixture of water and antifreeze used in an engine cooling system to maintain the engine’s temperature throughout its operating range.

Starting & Charging
The battery starts your car, powers on-board computers and supplies emergency power needs. A weakened battery causes stress on alternators and starters, especially during extreme temperatures. Let Vogel Motors inspect your battery regularly.
