Signs You Need Engine Repair
Several signs indicate you may require engine service or repair. Some of these include:
- Your check engine light is on. If this is the case, make sure to bring it in for a diagnostic check and get to the bottom of any potential problems.
- Your vehicle is regularly stalling out.
- Your engine is regularly overheating.
- You hear strange sounds coming from under the hood.
- You notice excessive smoke coming out of your vehicle's tailpipe.
- Your engine is seemingly sluggish or not generating significant power.
If you're experiencing any of these issues or any others that may indicate engine issues, contact your local GreatWater-affiliated location today for service.
How Often You Should Maintain Your Engine
How often you maintain your engine can vary. At a minimum, you'll want to ensure that you're staying up to date on oil changes. While the old rule was to change your oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles, today's advanced engine systems and motor oil formulas mean that most vehicles can go 5,000 or 7,000 miles between oil changes. However, don't downplay the importance of regular oil changes - many mechanics believe it's the single most important thing you can do to ensure the long-term health of your engine.
Aside from oil changes, we suggest you reference your owner's manual and stay current on manufacturer-recommended engine maintenance. Our advisors will also help you stay on schedule, sending reminders when service may be due.
