Oil Changes

You have to change the oil regularly on your vehicle. If you do not do this you could cause damage to your engine. Old oil builds up with dirt and gunk. This occurs because as the oil filter gets older it does not work as well. Therefore, more dirt makes it past the filter and into your engine. You don’t want dirty oil gumming up your engine and causing problems. 

During oil changes by Ethan’s Honest Automotive, we will check for any oil leaks or other problems as well. Doing so will help prevent small engine problems from becoming much larger. Set up your recurring oil change appointments with Ethan’s Honest Automotive today.
