Why Oil Changes Matter


An oil change is one of the most important maintenance tasks for your car. The oil in your engine lubricates its parts, keeping everything running smoothly. Oil gets dirty and loses its effectiveness overtime. One should change it regularly to keep your engine. It prevents overheating, and ensures your car runs efficiently. 

Fresh, clean oil means a healthy engine - simple as that.


The Real Cost of Cheap Oil Changes


Those $59.99 signs at quick-lube places are super tempting, but here's what they dont tell you. Cheap means fast. Cheap means hook customer come to the shop and opportunity to upsell services they don't even need. Here's what this really means for your car:


Quick Oil change quality risks

  • Basic oil that meets minimum standards but may not be optimized for your specific vehicle

  • After market filters that provide basic protection - oil become dirty sooner

  • 15-minute service leaves limited time for thorough inspection

  • Inexperienced technicians missing critical issues


True cost of cheap Oil change

  • Frequent upselling of unnecessary services

  • Higher long-term repair costs from inferior materials

  • Shorter intervals between oil changes needed

  • Potential engine damage from improper maintenance

Remember: While budget oil changes can work for some vehicles, understanding what you're paying for helps you make the best choice for your car's needs. A damaged engine can mean unexpected repairs that cost thousands - and that's the last thing you need when working toward your goals.

Premium vs blended Synthetic Oil


Not all synthetic oils are the same. Those quick-lube places use generic synthetic that barely meets the minimum standards. A "one-size-fits-all" synthetic oil for every car that's like using the same prescription for every patient - it just doesn't make sense.


Why Your Car Needs Specific Oil:

  • BMW requires special oil that protects turbochargers

  • Toyota hybrids need oil that works with their unique start-stop systems

  • Mercedes engines need specific additives for their high-performance parts

  • Newer Hondas require oil that's compatible with their fuel-saving technology

That's why manufacturers spend years testing and recommending specific oils for their engines. Each car is different, and each engine is designed to work best with certain oil formulations.

At Clarity, we don't guess - we use exactly what your manufacturer recommends. It might cost a bit more, but it's what your engine was actually designed to run on. Think of it as giving your car exactly what it was engineered to use, not just what's "acceptable."

Most cars need fresh oil every 3,000 to 7,500 miles. Really depends on your car and how you drive it:

- Regular oil: Every 3,000 miles
