how often do i need an oil change?
How often do I need an oil change?
The interval for your regular oil changes can be anywhere between 3,000 to 5,000 miles. So, it’s best to refer to your owner’s manual for exact specifications. Also, you need to consider your driving habits. If you’re traveling over dusty, dirty roads a lot, you might need to decrease the time between oil changes to help protect the integrity and function of your engine.
Why are oil changes so important?
Oil changes are crucial for your engine to operate properly and to help ward off permanent and expensive damage. Over time, the oil used to lubricate your engine and its components will be overrun with dirt, debris, and gunk, the very things it is tasked with keeping it from infiltrating your engine.
Why do I need to get my tires rotated?
Your tires are the only equipment that directly connects your vehicle to the road, gravel, or off-road terrain. They are under constant stress and rotating them according to manufacturer specifications will help prevent uneven wear. This will help ensure a better performance and traction for your drives.
Why is my check engine light on?
Many things can set off your check engine light. It could be something simple like a loose gas cap or something more extreme that puts you and your passengers in jeopardy. Since it’s nearly impossible to decipher why your check engine light is on or the severity of the cause, it’s best to bring your vehicle into the service bay at Don Larson Chevrolet Buick GMC as soon as possible. You also do not want to risk driving your vehicle when the check engine light is activated. It’s best to address this immediately.
How often should I clean my car?
A clean car isn’t just aesthetically pleasing, although a clutter-free cabin can ease your driving nerves. Trash and clutter inside your cabin puts your interior finishes like your upholstery at risk. You don’t want grease stains to set into fabric or sharp items to tear leather or leatherette materials. Extra junk, too, is extra weight, that can put more stress on your vehicle’s performance.
Regular washes and waxes of your vehicle’s exterior will help prevent rust from forming and rid the paint of debris that can scratch or degrade the finish. Regularly cleaning the windows and mirrors will also deliver a clearer view of your surroundings, helping to support a safer journey.

Are electric cars lower or higher maintenance?
Electric cars, especially their components under the hood, are less complicated and have fewer components than what a gas-combustion engine has. An EV also has fewer fluids to keep it moving, meaning that an EV can be easier to maintain.
Do my tires need air even if they don't look flat?
The best way to check if your tires are inflated properly is with a tire gauge. A fluctuation of just a few psi points can hinder your vehicle’s performance and put your tires at risk for a flat or blowout. Don’t trust a glance with your driving safety or tires’ integrity.
What are OEM parts?
Original Equipment Manufacturer or OEM parts are genuine parts manufactured directly from GM.
