The Importance of Frequent Oil Changes at Jim Schmidt Ford
Most clients may not comprehend the benefits extended during an oil change at Jim Schmidt Ford. And while the simple changing of oil is done daily without fanfare, it's an opportune time for our factory-trained technicians to examine other areas of interest.
So, upon old engine oil being drained and replenished with fresh oil, you're providing the necessary lubrication for all internal engine parts and components. As well, the following procedures also take place while you wait:
- Tire inspections look to ensure proper integrity. And to mitigate patterns of wear, tires may be rotated while your Ford Escape is on the lift.
- Brake parts of rotors, pads and calipers are examined for corrosion and disrepair. Given location, these parts see weathering beyond what most other Ford systems experience.
- Vehicle batteries are often cleared of toxic residue found caked around terminals. This alone may enhance battery efficiency.
- Systems of steering, brakes and wipers need fluid replenishment for proper functioning.
- Windshields, headlights and taillamps are examined for integrity.
- Engine and cabin air filters are also inspected and replaced as necessary.
In effect, the changing of oil every few thousand miles at Jim Schmidt Ford is a full-fledged opportunity towards ensuring safety and performance throughout.
