FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE IN NEW WESTMINSTER/BURNABY

 

Your car's fuel injection system plays a crucial role in mixing air and fuel in the engine. However, as time goes by, fuel deposits may clog the fuel injectors, causing a reduction in fuel flow to the engine. Keeping the fuel injection system clean is crucial to your vehicle's routine maintenance. Doing so offers several advantages, such as:

  • Preventing fuel injector damage – Fuel deposits can cause carbon to build up on the injector, causing wear and forcing excess fuel delivery for every pulse.
     
  • Improving engine performance – Over time, internal buildups inside your engine can cause your engine to run less efficiently.

Ensure your ride's health and performance by keeping its fuel injection system clean. Contact us now.

THE IMPORTANCE OF OIL CHANGE

 

Motor oil is responsible for performing numerous essential functions in your vehicle. It keeps your engine smooth and ensures no friction on the moving parts. It also prevents rust, eliminates engine noise, removes contaminants, and cools down your engine. However, the oil in your vehicle doesn't work forever. The heat it encounters during combustion wears it down and reduces its effectiveness. With this breaking down, the oil stops moving as fluidly as it should. It starts accumulating contaminants and becomes dirty. Over time, engine oil thickens, becomes dirtier, and turns into sludge. This abrasive sludge can lead to corrosion, making the old oil ineffective and harmful.

 

For all the above reasons, we must carry out an oil change as part of your vehicle's routine maintenance. Please schedule an oil-changing appointment with us today in New Westminster.

 

WHEN SHOULD I CHANGE MY VEHICLE’S OIL?
 

As a vehicle owner, you may question the ideal oil change frequency. In the past, a change every 3-4 months was advised, but modern engine oils with improved lubrication make less frequent changes possible.

 

You should go back to your manufacturer manuals for specific details regarding the oil change frequency in New Westminster. Manufacturers provide oil change guidelines, but you can have some flexibility. You don't need an immediate oil change when your dashboard signals it. You can often go a few hundred kilometers beyond the recommended mileage, but excessive delay may risk engine damage.

 

Most manufacturers suggest 6-12 months between oil changes, regardless of how often you drive your vehicle. If you'd like to get a better idea, we invite you to schedule an inspection at our auto repair shop to change your oil in New Westminster.

 

SIGNS THAT YOUR VEHICLE NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE OIL CHANGE


Sometimes, you must change your oil earlier than you would have thought. Here are a few signs that may signal a quick oil change:

​

  • Dashboard warning light: If the dashboard warning light for the oil pressure or oil level comes on, it is a sign that the oil needs to be changed immediately. The oil might be too low or dirty and needs to be changed to prevent engine damage.
     

  • Engine noise: If you hear a knocking or ticking noise from the engine, it may be a sign that the oil needs to be changed. This noise is often caused by low oil pressure, which can lead to engine damage if not addressed promptly.
     

  • Dark or dirty oil: Check your oil dipstick regularly to ensure that the oil is clean and at the correct level. It may be time for an oil change if it appears dark or dirty. Dirty oil can cause engine wear and decrease performance.
     

  • Decreased fuel economy: If you notice a sudden decrease, it could indicate that your oil needs to be changed. Dirty oil can cause the engine to work harder, which uses more fuel.
     

  • Burning smell: If you smell burning oil while driving, it could indicate that your oil needs to be changed. This smell may be caused by oil leaking onto hot engine parts or by dirty oil burning in the engine.

 

If you notice any of these signs in your car, it is essential to schedule an oil change in New Westminster with us as soon as possible to prevent costly engine damage. Contact us now.

HOW OIL CHANGE CAN SAVE HUGE COSTS


Regular oil changes are critical to vehicle maintenance and can help save you high costs. Here are some ways in which oil changes can save you money:
 

  • Prevent engine damage: Clean engine oil lubricates and cools your engine, preventing wear and tear on engine components. Dirty or old oil can lead to engine damage and costly repairs.
     

  • Improve fuel economy: Fresh oil reduces engine friction and helps your engine run more efficiently. Fresh oil can translate to better fuel economy, which saves you money at the pump.
     

  • Extend engine life: Routine oil changes can help extend the life of your engine, allowing you to get more mileage out of your vehicle before investing in a new one.
     

  • Identify potential problems early: To catch potential issues early and prevent them from becoming more prominent and expensive, your mechanic will inspect other vehicle parts, such as brakes, tires, and suspension, during an oil change.
     

  • Maintain warranty coverage: Some vehicle warranties require regular oil changes to remain valid. You can maintain your warranty coverage and avoid out-of-pocket repair costs by staying updated on oil changes.

 

Overall, routine oil changes may seem like a small expense in the short term, but they can help save you high costs in the long run. Contact Dawson Service Ltd for a quick oil change in your vehicle in New Westminster today.

HOW MUCH DOES AN OIL FILTER COST?
