Regular Oil Changes - Kalamazoo, MI

Knowing when to bring your vehicle in for an oil change can sometimes feel like a guessing game. At Flying Dog Garage, we recommend checking your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendations and paying attention to your driving habits. For instance, if you frequently drive in heavy traffic, through extreme weather conditions, or tow heavy loads, your vehicle may require more frequent oil changes.

Additionally, modern vehicles often come equipped with oil life monitoring systems that alert you when an oil change is needed. These systems take into account various factors, including engine revolutions, temperature, and driving conditions, to accurately predict when your oil has degraded and needs replacing. Paying attention to these indicators and keeping a regular maintenance schedule can prevent costly repairs and ensure your vehicle operates at its best.

Diesel Oil Change - Kalamazoo, MI

The oil change process at Flying Dog Garage is thorough and designed to ensure your vehicle's engine remains in peak condition. First, our technicians drain the old, contaminated oil from your engine. This step is crucial as it removes the dirt, debris, and metal particles that have accumulated over time, which can wear down your engine components. Following the drainage, we replace the oil filter, which is key to keeping the new oil clean for longer.

Next, we refill your engine with high-quality, manufacturer-recommended oil. The type of oil used can significantly affect your vehicle's performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity. Finally, our technicians perform a comprehensive check of other fluids and components, offering a holistic approach to your vehicle's maintenance. This process not only keeps your engine running smoothly but also allows us to identify and address potential issues before they become major problems.
