Schedule Oil Change

Oil change service is one of the most beneficial routine services that ensure your car's performance and lifespan. Oil change services are necessary and pretty straightforward. However, for the best service, make sure to bring your Honda to DARCARS Honda Service Center in Bowie, MD, for regular oil changes and any other services.


Q: WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO CHANGE THE OIL IN YOUR CAR?

A: It all boils down to durability and efficiency. You'll get improved engine output and a longer engine lifetime if you change your oil regularly. Oil changes keep the engine's vital parts clean and lubricated, resulting in a smooth ride.

Suppose you avoid getting oil changes at the recommended intervals. In that case, you risk your Honda accumulating dirt and debris that will harm your engine, resulting in damage and the need for costly repairs. This can be easily avoided by scheduling a service appointment and keeping your car clean and running smoothly.

Another advantage of an oil change is improved MPG. When you change your oil, you improve lubrication, reduce friction, and keep your engine running perfectly. So, if you keep your car in top shape with frequent oil changes, you can save money on gas.


Q: CAN I SWITCH BRANDS IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES?

A: Switching motor oil is not an issue if the viscosity grade and engine oil requirements mentioned in your owner's manual are met. We propose speaking with certified technicians to check whether we have a motor oil that performs better than what you're using now! And, yes, you can switch between synthetic and conventional motor oils with ease!


Q: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL AND SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL?

A: Traditional motor oil is made from petroleum and is often regarded as inferior to synthetic oils. Synthetic oils are refined and processed further, removing any particles that may remain in conventional oils. It's also more robust than regular oil, lasting longer and withstanding higher temperatures.


Q: WHEN SHOULD I GET AN OIL CHANGE?

A: When your oil light comes on, it's a sure sign that you need to change your oil. Again, however, it is preferable to be proactive, check your owner's manual, and find the manufacturer-recommended service intervals for your specific model. You may also seek advice from our Honda technicians at DARCARS Honda.


Q: WHY SHOULD I CHANGE THE OIL INSTEAD OF JUST TOPPING IT OFF?

A: When you add new motor oil to restore normal oil levels, the old, sludgy, dirty oil doesn't disappear; instead, it gets mixed in with the new, fresh, clean oil. This puts additional strain on the fresh oil, preventing it from performing as well as it should. If you're in an emergency low-oil situation, top off your oil, but follow up with a complete oil change service appointment!

Visit our Honda Service Center in Bowie, MD, for better engine life and a smoother ride. We'd be happy to schedule an oil change, answer any questions and provide any additional services your car might need. Then you can get back out on the road to enjoy an outstanding performance in your freshly-serviced Honda.
