We execute thousandsof oil changes each year on all makes and models! Although we all know a dealership is qualified to do the service, they can be expensive, inconvenient and very time consuming. At EZ Quick Lube our service is competitively priced, timely, and more convenient, with noappointment needed.

Q.Will changing my oil at EZ Quick Lube affect or void my new car warranty?

A.Absolutely NOT!! Sometimes consumers believe, or are led to believe by a dealer, that they must have their oil changed at a dealership, or their warranty will be void. This is NOT true. The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, a federal law, states that a manufacturer may not require the use of any single brand filter or other article unless the manufacturer provides this article or filter free of charge under the terms of the warranty. The oil change service or any other service at EZ Quick Lube often exceeds that of many dealerships!

Q.What is difference between 5w30 & 10W30?

A.The difference between 5W30 & 10w30 is the cold start characteristics. The "5w" in 5w30 means that the oil is 5 weight (viscosity) oil at start-up when the engine is cold. The "W" stands for WINTER. The "30" in 5w30 is the weight (viscosity) of the oil at engine operating temperature. Therefore, the only difference between 5w30 & 10w30 is the weight or viscosity of the oil at start-up they are the same at operating temperature.

Operators should refer to their owner's manual to select the proper viscosity oil the temperature and operating conditions for which they will be driving. Or you can ask one of our technicians.

Q.How often should I change the oil in my vehicle?

A.According to carcarecouncil.org, additives in oil break down over time and can act as contaminants. The best advice is to follow the guidelines provided in the vehicle’s owners manual, but every 3 months or 3,000 miles is a good rule of thumb. Many car manufactures today are recommending extended oil drain intervals for some drivers. However, if you regularly drive in dusty or dirty air conditions, tow a trailer, or live in a cold-weather region it is best to stick with the 3,000 miles or 3 months regimen.
