Whether driving around Dover or traveling cross-country, you always want your vehicle to have fresh, clean oil. Regular oil change service is essential for keeping your engine running strong and smoothly and for limiting ongoing wear. At Volvo Cars of Exeter, we make it easy to establish the perfect oil change schedule for your auto, your driving style, and your budget. We can help you determine whether your car will run best with synthetic or standard engine oil, and we can find oil with the right viscosity for every driving demand and season.

Which Oil Type Is Right for Your Vehicle?

The absolute best way to determine the right oil for your car is by reading your owner's manual. When you get your oil changed by us, we'll account for these recommendations, the climate in Portsmouth, and whether or not you spend most of your time cruising down the freeway or in stop-and-go traffic in York, ME. Synthetic engine oil lasts longer, stands up better to friction and heat, and generally outperforms standard engine oil. However, it tends to be a lot more costly. When the weather is colder, engine oil can thicken. Thus, no matter which type you choose, we suggest changing it out for a more season-appropriate one whenever there are dramatic, seasonal changes in outside temperatures.

Are You Due for an Oil Change?

At the end of our oil change service, you'll get a sticker for your dash that keeps you aware of the best time to return for fresh oil. Our services will also be documented on your car's vehicle history report. This way, should you ever choose to sell your car, prospective buyers will know that you've been diligent in this area.

Although your owner's manual might recommend changing your oil once every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, as your car gets older, its oil changes will need to happen much sooner. With a fresh filter and fresh, needs-specific oil, your engine can stand up to any demands that you put on it.
