Your car's performance depends on how well you take care of it. Regular maintenance keeps your car in good working condition and prevents future problems.
One of the most common and frequent maintenance services your car will need is an oil change. Over time, regular use causes your car's oil to gradually become dirty and sludge-like, reducing its performance and efficiency. During oil changes, old oil is removed and replaced with new, clean oil.
A vehicle that hasn't had an oil change in a while may experience significant performance issues. It could cause the vehicle to stall or sputter. An engine with dirty oil can also overheat. When cars don't get regular oil changes, they may run poorly or even not start at all. You could end up with a stalled vehicle in the middle of nowhere, which is dangerous and inconvenient.
You can avoid these problems and costly engine repairs by changing your oil regularly. While it’s tempting to do the oil change yourself, you should leave this important task to a trained professional. The Gettel Toyota of Bradenton technicians can perform oil changes on all Toyota models.

The guidelines for how often drivers should change their oil have changed in recent years. Previously, automakers and mechanics were advised to perform this service every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever came first.
Due to advancements in engines and engine oils, car owners can delay oil changes for a little longer. The recommended oil change interval is now 7,500 miles. There is, however, some flexibility in the situation. For example, new vehicles may not require oil changes every 10,000 miles, while older, out-of-warranty vehicles need servicing sooner. Oil changes should also be performed every 10,000 miles when using synthetic oil. It is also possible to find additional information in your car's owner's manual.
We don't require you to wait for a certain mileage before coming to our automotive service center. See if your car's engine shows signs that it needs oil changed. For example, the engine light or the oil change light may indicate that it is time to check your car. Gettel Toyota of Bradenton should be able to assist you if this occurs.
When checking the oil, mechanics may find that it has become almost black. Clean oil is amber and translucent, so if it has become dark, you need to change it. There may also be a knocking noise coming from the engine, or you may smell burning oil inside the vehicle. Dark smoke may also be coming from the exhaust pipe.
Delaying the oil change will reduce your car's performance. You'll spend more on gas because fuel efficiency will decrease. The engine will have a harder time keeping up with the car, and eventually, it may fail.
Your engine needs motor oil to run smoothly, safely, and efficiently. It protects your engine in four ways:
