Questions
How often should I change my car's oil?
Most modern vehicles require oil changes every 5,000-7,500 miles using synthetic oil. Older vehicles or those under heavy use may need changes every 3,000 miles. Check your owner's manual for specific recommendations.
What does the check engine light indicate?
The check engine light signals issues with the engine, emissions system, or related components. Causes range from minor (loose gas cap) to serious (sensor failure). Bring your vehicle for professional diagnosis.
When should tires be replaced?
Replace tires when tread depth falls below 2/32 of an inch (use the penny test). Also replace for uneven wear, cracks, bulges, or after 25,000-50,000 miles depending on driving conditions and maintenance.
