Our Oil & Filter ServicesÂ
Oil Change
Engine oil isn’t just a lubricant; it’s the foundation of smooth, efficient vehicle performance. As oil degrades with time and use, it loses its ability to protect vital components from heat, friction and wear. Left unchanged, this can lead to sluggish performance, increased fuel consumption, and eventually, serious engine trouble.Â
At Drury Tires, we carry out thorough oil changes using top-quality oils matched to your vehicle’s make and model. Our trained technicians will drain and safely dispose of the old oil, refill with fresh, manufacturer-approved oil, and carry out basic checks for leaks or potential issues. It’s a simple service that delivers long-term peace of mind.
Filter Change
An oil change is only half the job; the oil filter is just as important. It captures dirt, metal shavings, and carbon deposits before they can circulate through your engine and cause damage. Over time, the filter becomes saturated and loses its effectiveness, turning clean oil dirty far quicker than it should.Â
Our filter change service ensures your engine benefits from clean oil for longer. We replace old filters with high-grade parts that meet or exceed OEM standards, ensuring maximum filtration and minimal risk. Every filter change is done with care and precision, keeping your engine cleaner, healthier, and better protected between services.
Why Oil and Filter Changes Matter
Oil and filter changes are more than routine; they’re essential for preserving the health of your vehicle. Skipping or delaying this service can lead to increased wear, reduced performance, and avoidable repair bills. Here’s why staying on top of it makes all the difference:
- Prevents engine wear: Clean oil keeps moving parts properly lubricated, reducing metal-on-metal contact that causes internal damage over time.
- Improves fuel efficiency: Fresh oil helps your engine run smoothly and efficiently, which often translates to better fuel economy on the road.
- Controls engine temperature: Oil plays a major role in managing heat. As it degrades, it becomes less effective at absorbing and dispersing that heat.
- Reduces harmful emissions: Dirty oil contributes to higher emissions. Clean oil and a fresh filter help your engine burn fuel more cleanly.
- Protects long-term value: Keeping your oil and filter in good condition helps extend your engine’s lifespan and protects your investment in the vehicle.
Signs You Need an Oil and Filter Change
Most vehicles give clear signals when it’s time for a service. Knowing what to look for can help you act early and avoid engine issues before they become expensive repairs. If you notice any of the signs below, it’s time to book in:
- Dashboard warning lights: If your oil pressure or check engine light has come on, it’s a strong indicator that your oil or filter isn’t doing its job properly.
- Unusual engine noise: Knocking, ticking or louder-than-usual engine sounds may point to a lack of lubrication caused by old or low oil.
- Dirty or low oil level: If the oil looks dark, gritty, or the dipstick reads below the minimum line, your engine isn’t getting the protection it needs.
- Burning smell: A sharp or burnt odour coming from under the bonnet can mean your oil is old or leaking and overheating on hot components.
- Decreased performance or fuel economy: If your car feels sluggish or you’re filling up more often than usual, dirty oil may be causing the engine to work harder.Â
Even if you’re not seeing obvious symptoms, oil and filter changes should generally be done every 5,000 to 10,000 km, depending on your vehicle and driving habits. If you’re unsure, the team at Drury Tires is happy to advise based on your specific make and model.
