Engine oil is a critical component of a car. Whether it’s keeping the lubricating sections of the engine or keeping it cooled, the engine oil is the lifeline for your vehicle. The oil aids the engine in a number of ways. It helps shield the engine by keeping it clean from sludge, which defends its operation. Oil reduces wear and friction, which can also improve the fuel economy of your vehicle. Lastly, it reduces the heat located in the engine and pushes it to other components of the engine.

Regularly checking the oil level can help keep the driver ensure oil health and maintain proper oil levels. To avoid touching the hot engine parts, it’s better to check the oil when the engine has cooled down. Many dipsticks have lines to display if the oil levels are too low and should be topped off. Also when using the dipstick, you can look at the oil texture. If the oil is smooth and a lighter color, it’s okay. But, if the oil is dark and looks sludgier, then it should be changed.
It’s possible that you may have a leak if your dipstick constantly shows low engine oil levels. There are a number of ways to test for oil leakage, which is integral because a leak could cause harm to the vehicle’s engine. If there are dark puddles under your car, it could be a result of the oil pan leaking oil. Smoke from the engine or the smell of burning oil may also be an essential indicator of an oil leak. Also, the engine overheating could possibly be a product of an oil leak.
Learning when to replace your vehicle’s oil is crucial to negate harm to the engine in your car. While some may suggest a short engine oil change interval from 3,000-5,000 miles, it’s recommended to have your oil replaced every six months or 5,000-7,000 mi., whichever comes first. However, if you are worried about when to change your oil you should reach out to our service department for more accurate info about your vehicle.

Friendly when you can reach someone. They need to improve in returning customers phone calls. I've left 4 messages to 2 different service persons and still haven't gotten a return call. Not happy about it and tired of wasting my time. Still had questions about the service that was performed. Once your of the lot, it seems like you're forgotten about. Do Better - Service Team
Finance manager was very rude to us after we refused to add any options Also the contract he asked us to sign was not the same price we agreed upon with the sales rep. I demanded he recalculate the numbers which at first he insisted I was wrong. We also did not appreciate him bragging about how many house he owned and renting only to Section 8 tennets. This was a insult to us since we both have family members on section 8. Section 8 is for low income renteers.
Good communication. Timely service. Dealership that you can trusts. Thanks Folsom Lake Toyota for the good service checkup.
