Schedule Your Oil Change | Lakewood | Denver Metro Area

What causes the Oil Warning Light?

• Pull over and check the oil level or, immediately drive to a service technician

Why is my car leaving oil spots on my driveway?
Usually leaks are a sign of degraded engine gaskets, oil seals, or bad connections.

What if I have low miles between service intervals?
Low miles doesn't mean you don't have to change your oil; if your car isn't driven much oil still breaks down and doesn't lubricate engine parts.

What are extreme operating conditions?

• A lot stop-and-go traffic, or rush-hour traffic
• A lot of short trips every day
• Limited highway driving: not getting up to high speed and getting engine hot enough to evaporate water in crankcase, and builds up engine sludge
• Driving in very hot weather
• A lot of blowing dust or dirt: driving on dirt roads
• Towing
• Hauling a lot of heavy loads
