Oil Change
How often should I get an oil change?
At Jiffy Lube®, we recommend changing your oil approximately every 5,000 kilometers, or every three months. Regular oil changes are the best way to prevent contamination and water build-up in your engine.
What happens if I go too long between oil changes?
Oil is the lifeblood of your car’s engine. It keeps all of its parts moving smoothly, absorbs excess heat, and contains additives that help clean up nasty, harmful chemicals. After spending thousands of kilometers keeping your engine running right, your used oil degrades leaving harmful deposits, and over time can form sludge, which decreases your engine’s performance and lifespan. Regular oil changes keep your engine running smoothly by assisting in cooling, lubricating, cleaning an engine’s moving parts, and improving gas consumption to extend the life of your engine.

How much does a synthetic oil change cost?
The price of an oil change varies per location and based on the type of oil. Please call or visit your nearest Jiffy Lube® if you wish to confirm pricing on a synthetic oil change.
Why does a synthetic oil change cost more?
Synthetic oils are human-made and production is more costly than for conventional oil. Synthetic oil offers better protection and performance, particularly in extreme temperatures. It flows more freely at freezing temperatures and resists breakdown or burn off at higher temperatures. You will often hear that you don’t have to change your oil as often with synthetic oil however it all depends on your driving conditions. Drive in to Jiffy Lube today to have a technician answer any questions you may have.
