When is the last time you checked your oil?

Car Manufacturers have decided that we are, as a whole, becoming too lazy to open the hood and check our own Oil level. Cars and trucks have become so well engineered that it really has become much less an issue than it was while I was growing up. I can still remember the mechanic speaking with my father about my Chevy Nova saying, "As long as he replaces the oil as quickly as it leaks out he may never need to have an actual oil change." If nothing is wrong checking the oil may seem irrelevant, but if something does go wrong you can quickly cause a very expensive problem. Do yourself a favor and check the oil. It gives you a chance to quickly check the rest of your underhood area for other potential problems as well. By the way, if you find you need something under there... give us a call!
