Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions About Oil Changes

How often should I get an oil change?

This varies depending on the vehicle, oil type and driving conditions—anywhere from every 3,000 to 10,000 miles.

Here in west Colorado Springs from mountainous terrain to more extreme weather condition swings can have a big impact on the condition of your oil. We reccomend checking your owners manual and making sure you’re at least sticking to the manfacturer recomendations if not getting it done a little sooner.

What’s the difference between conventional and synthetic oil?

While regular oil provides adequate cost efficient lubrication for many vehicles, synthetic oil offers a superior level of engine protection due to its advanced engineering.

For most modern cars, especially those with turbocharged or high-performance engines, synthetic oil is the superior and often required choice, offering better protection against extreme temperatures, reducing engine wear, and allowing for longer intervals between changes.

The choice between the two ultimately depends on your vehicle’s requirements, milage, driving habits, and budget. Always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s specific oil recommendations.

Can I switch between conventional and synthetic oil?

In most cases, yes. However, consult your owner’s manual or ask your technician for guidance.

If you are switching to synthetic oil in an older or poorly maintained engine with significant sludge buildup, After switching to synthetic oil for the first time, you might consider opting for a shorter oil change interval (e.g., 3,000 miles) for the initial run. This will allow the new oil’s detergents to clean the engine and then be drained out along with the suspended sludge, giving your engine a fresh start with the next fill of synthetic oil.

How does Phoenix Auto Repair perform oil and filter changes and why are they important?

Ever noticed your car’s reminder sticker glaring at you from the windshield, silently judging you for missing your last oil change? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. At Phoenix Auto Repair in Colorado Springs, we’re experts at changing oil and filters—and even better at forgiving automotive procrastination.

Think of your engine oil as your vehicle’s lifeblood. Just as you wouldn’t run a marathon on nothing but coffee and donuts, your car shouldn’t run on old, sludgy oil. When you bring your ride to Phoenix, our mechanics leap into action faster than you can say, “Oops, was I supposed to do that last month?” We’ll drain the old oil—which might resemble chocolate syrup by now—and replace it with fresh, golden, top-quality oil that even a mythical phoenix would envy.

But we don’t stop there. An oil change without a new filter is like hiking Pikes Peak barefoot—technically possible, but definitely not recommended. Dirty filters leave your engine vulnerable to gunk and grime, causing it to sputter and choke like an exhausted marathoner. That’s why we install fresh oil filters to keep your engine breathing cleaner than a mountain breeze.

Maybe you’re wondering, “Synthetic or conventional?” or “Do filters really matter?” Short answer: yes! Longer answer: absolutely, and we’ll happily explain it with a little humor. Our friendly techs believe no question is silly—except maybe, “Can I use olive oil instead?” (Spoiler alert: don’t.)

So whether you drive a compact car, hefty truck, or an adventurous SUV, swing into Phoenix Auto Repair. We’ll refresh your oil and filters, reset that judgmental sticker, and have you back on Colorado’s roads smoother than ever—minus the guilty windshield stare-down. After all, life’s too short to worry about oil viscosity ratings alone. Let Phoenix Auto Repair keep your ride running strong—no guilt trips included.
