Our expert technicians will also inspect your vehicle’s tires, repair your brakes, replace your filters and top off all of your car’s fluids, so you can hit the road with confidence. We use only the highest quality motor oil from some of the leading brands in the market, so you can rest assured that your car is getting the best possible care.

Why You Should Never Skip an Oil Change

Your car’s engine oil is one of the most important fluids in your vehicle. It helps to lubricate, clean, and protect your engine by reducing friction and removing debris. Over time, however, oil breaks down and becomes less effective. If you go too long without an oil change, sludge can build up in your engine, causing it to overheat and eventually lead to engine failure.

How Often Should You Get an Oil Change?

Most carmakers recommend getting an oil change every 5,000 miles or every 6 months. However, this may vary depending on your vehicle and driving habits. For example, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or in extreme weather conditions, you may need to get your oil changed more often. The best way to know for sure is to check your car’s owner’s manual or regularly consult with a qualified automotive technician.

Motor Oil Types at Brock Automotive Import Service

Not all motor oils are created equal. The type of oil you use in your car will depend on the make and model of your vehicle, as well as your driving habits. Here are some of the most common types of motor oil:

• Synthetic Blend Oil: A blend of conventional and synthetic oil, synthetic blend oil provides the benefits of both types of oil. It is a good choice for drivers who want to extend their oil change interval but don’t want to pay the higher price of full synthetic oil. This makes it a popular option for many auto owners.

• Full Synthetic Oil: The most expensive type of motor oil, full synthetic oil is made from man-made chemicals rather than crude oil. It provides the best protection for your engine and can help to improve fuel economy. Full synthetic oil has the longest interval between changes, so it’s a good choice for drivers who want to save time and money in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get an oil change?

It depends on your vehicle, the type of oil it uses, and how you drive. Many newer vehicles running synthetic oil can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between changes, while older engines may need service sooner. Check your owner’s manual or your maintenance reminder for the interval set by the manufacturer. If most of your driving is short trips around Beaverton or stop-and-go traffic on Highway 26 into Portland, follow the severe service schedule. Short trips don’t let the engine fully warm up, so moisture and fuel can collect in the oil and wear it out faster.

What kind of oil does my vehicle need?

Your owner’s manual lists two things: the viscosity, such as 0W-20, and the specification your engine requires. Many engines produced in the last decade are built with tight tolerances and call for thin, full synthetic oil. Some Japanese models now use grades as light as 0W-16. Using the right viscosity range helps protect your engine and keeps fuel economy where it should be. If you’re not sure what your vehicle takes, our team will look it up before we start.

Do European cars need a special type of oil?

Many do. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche engines often require oil carrying a specific manufacturer approval, such as BMW Longlife-01 or VW 504 00. Oil can have the right viscosity and still lack the approval your engine needs. Brock Automotive Import Service specializes in European and Asian imports, so our trained technicians know which oil and filters each engine calls for.

What’s included in a full-service oil change at Brock Automotive?

We drain the old oil, replace the filter, and refill your engine with the correct oil for your vehicle. We also inspect your tires, brakes, filters, belts, hoses, and undercarriage for signs of wear, and we top off your fluids. You’ll get a digital health report on your phone with photos and notes on what we found. If anything needs attention, we’ll tell you what’s urgent and what can wait.

How is a full-service oil change different from a quick-lube stop?

A quick-lube stop focuses on getting you in and out. That works when all you need is fresh oil. A full-service oil change takes a little longer, though it gives our technicians time to catch small problems, such as a worn belt, a leaking gasket, or low brake pads, before they turn into bigger repairs. For import vehicles, it also means the oil and parts going into your engine match what the manufacturer specifies.

How long does an oil change take, and can I wait?

You’re welcome to wait, or you can drop off your vehicle and let us get it ready while you go about your day. Since we inspect your vehicle during every oil change, plan on a little more time than a quick-lube visit. We also offer shuttle service, and we’ll update you by phone when your vehicle is ready.

How much does an oil change cost in Beaverton?

The price depends on your vehicle, the type of oil it needs, how many quarts your engine holds, and the filter it uses. Full synthetic oil with a European manufacturer approval costs more than a conventional oil change. Call 971-414-2666 with your vehicle’s year, make, and model, and we’ll give you a price before you book. For many drivers, catching a small problem during the inspection makes a full-service oil change worth it.

Will getting my oil changed at an independent shop affect my factory warranty?

No. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prevents a manufacturer from voiding your warranty just because you had routine maintenance done somewhere other than the dealership. What matters is that the service follows the manufacturer’s requirements and that you keep records. Every service at Brock Automotive comes with a digital record you can save.

What are the signs my car is overdue for an oil change?

Watch for an oil change reminder or oil pressure light on your dashboard, oil that looks dark and gritty on the dipstick, a ticking or knocking sound from the engine, or a burning oil smell. If you can’t remember your last oil change, it’s probably time.

Do you serve drivers outside Beaverton?

Yes. Our shop is at 16501 NW Twin Oaks Dr. in Beaverton, close to Highway 26, and we serve drivers throughout the area, including Aloha, Hillsboro, Bethany, Cedar Mill, and west Portland. Call 971-414-2666 or request an appointment online to set up your next oil change.
