There is no more important preventative service for your car’s engine than a routine oil change service. A clean filter and clean oil keep debris and deteriorated oil from getting into the engine. This protects the investment you made when you purchased it, and it will keep your car running at peak efficiency for as long as possible.
An oil change at Bruce’s includes a thorough inspection of your vehicle by one of our ASE-Certified Fremont oil mechanics. This kind of attention will keep you on the road in a safe, well-maintained vehicle.

There is a reason you receive reminders about your upcoming oil change service. An oil change means:
The job of the oil in a car is to collect all the dirt and grime that can clog up the filter and the engine components. If the oil and filter aren’t changed regularly, the results can prove expensive, all of which are ultimately preventable.
Without enough clean oil in your engine, metal parts will begin to grind against each other. This creates friction and generates excess heat, which results in overheating and stress on the parts. Your engine can seize up, often failing completely.
An engine normally creates some heat, but it needs to be moved away from the engine. Clean oil absorbs this heat, but if the oil is dirty, it can’t do its job properly. In fact, the oil begins to reflect the heat instead, allowing the temperature to rise. The engine will then become undriveable.
Over time, metal parts begin to rust and corrode; however, by changing the oil on a regular basis, rust won’t build up in the engine. This is one reason why it’s best to drain the oil and change it, rather than simply adding clean oil to fill the reservoir up. The diluted oil doesn’t keep the corrosion and rust out of the engine system well enough.

The frequency of oil change services is typically regulated by the miles you drive. We recommend having your oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles. For most drivers, this means having your oil changed about four times a year. However, if you drive less than the recommended mileage, you should have an oil change at least every three months or so. While your engine oil won’t be gathering as much dirt and debris, it will still deteriorate over time. Maintaining a regular oil change schedule is the best way to protect your vehicle.
While the differences may be subtle, your vehicle will run more efficiently after an oil change. You may not notice a significant difference if you've maintained a routine maintenance schedule. However, you may feel the effects almost immediately if it's been a while since your last oil change. After an oil change, your vehicle should have better fuel economy, a smoother ride, and a quieter engine.
For high mileage vehicles, a high mileage oil is recommended. These oils are specifically designed to help older cars continue to operate efficiently. At Bruce's Tire & Auto Service, we recommend a high-quality brand like Valvoline High-Mileage for older vehicles. This engine oil is designed to provide lubrication, cooling, and filtering for cars that have been around the block several times.
When your oil collects dirt and debris through the engine, it filters it through the oil filter. Fresh, clean oil allows your engine to operate smoothly and remain well lubricated. When you don't change the old, dirty oil, all the dirt and engine gunk circulates through your motor. This can clog up the moving parts, cause friction, and force your engine to run inefficiently.
If you wait too long between oil changes, the friction and dirty engine oil can cause extensive damage to your motor. Eventually, your engine will fail due to a lack of maintenance.
It depends on the type of oil filter you use in your vehicle. However, at our auto repair shop in Fremont, we include the cost of a new oil filter with our oil change service. While others may add an extra charge for the oil filter, our honest pricing includes it already. We give you a new oil filter every time we perform an oil change service. We always recommend replacing the oil and the oil filter simultaneously, even if the oil filter has a little more life in it.
When your vehicle needs an oil change, your engine will run less efficiently than normal. Old, saturated oil circulating through your engine can cause a number of signs and symptoms. The following are all signs you may need an oil change:
Knocking and clunking noises
Low fuel economy
Burning or foul smells
Loud engine noises
Excessive smoke from the exhaust pipe
Shaking or rattling while driving
Rumbling while idling
If you’ve been experiencing any of these signs in your vehicle, it could be time for an oil change. Schedule your service for the best oil change Fremont has to offer at Bruce's Tire & Auto Service.
