Engine oil lubricates moving parts, removes heat and carries contaminants to the filter. With mileage and city driving, oil degrades and loses its protective additives, while the filter becomes saturated. Delaying an oil change increases friction, raises fuel consumption and can cause varnish, noisy lifters or even bearing damage. Our oil service in Headford restores protection: we drain old oil completely, replace the filter, reset the service indicator and verify there are no leaks, so your engine stays clean and reliable between intervals.

Most modern cars require an oil change every 10,000–15,000 km or 12 months, but short trips, stop-start commuting, towing or spirited driving shorten the interval. Warning signs include a service light on the dash, louder engine note, rough idle, dark thick oil on the dipstick, or a noticeable drop in performance. If you are unsure, our technicians will check oil condition, spec and level, then recommend the correct engine oil change by time, mileage and usage, so you never over- or under-service your car.
