How can you tell if you need an oil and filter change?

Although performing an oil change is something that most people prefer a mechanic to do, you don't need to be an engine oil expert to decide if now's the right time to change your oil.

If you think you might need a new filter and oil, these are some signs to look out for:

Oil warning light showing

If your oil level gets too low or the pressure drops significantly, the sensors in your car's engine will likely warn you by showing a dashboard light. The warning light usually looks like a small oil can - but if you're not sure, check your owner's manual.

An overheating engine

Over time, your oil filter may collect debris that stops oil passing through it as it should. If the filter becomes so clogged that no oil can pass, you will get friction between the moving parts - which will result in a build-up of heat.

Reduced performance

Motor oil helps to keep the engine's moving parts operating with no resistance. If the quality of the oil in your engine has deteriorated, the parts will not move as smoothly as they should - reducing power output.

Dirty exhaust fumes

It's normal for exhaust fumes to come out of your exhaust - but if it turns to smoke, it's important to get it checked. Smoke could indicate that oil is being burned - an indication that oil is leaking.

Dirty oil

Although people tend to think of oil as black, it's actually usually a light amber colour when it's new. As it ages, it becomes contaminated and turns darker. If you use your dipstick to check your level of oil and it looks very dark, it's time to get it checked.

What does an oil change involve?

So, what happens when a service centre performs an oil and filter change?

• Step 1. The car is lifted to give access to the oil drain plug underneath the vehicle
• Step 2. The drain plug is removed and the old oil is caught in oil pan underneath the engine - it's essentially that this is done carefully as hot oil can be dangerous
• Step 3. The mechanic will use an oil filter wrench to remove the old oil filter, again catching all the old oil in the oil drain pan
• Step 4. The drain plug is replaced (and a new drain plug gasket installed if required) and a new oil filter is installed
• Step 5. The technician will then remove the oil filler cap and add new clean oil to your vehicle's engine

Your old filter and old engine oil will be disposed off in a safe way that is not harmful to the environment.

Some workshops may suggest using an engine oil flush additive during the process too - helping to get rid of any carbon build-up that's occurred in the engine.
