Oil Change at our Delership in Knoxville, TN
Enjoy Expert Oil Changes at West Knoxville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
Most Knoxville, Tennessee drivers know that regular oil change service is necessary to keep their car, truck, or SUV running smoothly. Clean engine oil lubricates and protects moving parts, minimizing friction and keeping your engine cool. Over time, motor oil collects dirt and debris, eventually degrading to the point where it can't do its job. Dirty oil and a clogged oil filter can lead to overheating, causing metal parts to wear prematurely. Your mechanic keeps your vehicle out of the danger zone by periodically changing out the oil and replacing the filter.
How Often Do I Need an Oil Change for My Car, Truck, or SUV?
Many modern vehicles need an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or six to twelve months, whichever comes first. Engine and oil technology has improved to the point where the 3,000-mile rule of thumb no longer applies to most vehicles. You can find the right Chrysler oil change or Dodge oil change interval for your vehicle by consulting your owner's manual and our service team. You may need more frequent oil changes if your driving conditions or habits are considered severe. For example, you might need a Ram oil change sooner if take your tuck off-road or and earlier Jeep oil change if you have a lot of stop-and-go traffic on a commute to work.
How Long Does an Oil Change Take?
Most oil changes take about 30 to 45 minutes, but your wait time also depends on our customer volume, paperwork, and inspections.

If you choose our Mopar® Express Lane, no, you do not need an appointment. Our express lane makes it possible to stop by for routine maintenance without an appointment, making it an excellent option for Knoxville drivers with tight schedules.
What's the Difference Between Synthetic and Regular Oil?
Motor oil manufacturers use a chemically engineered process to create synthetic oil with fewer impurities and better properties than conventional oil molecules. Synthetic oil typically has better extreme high-temperature and low-temperature performance than conventional oil. Conventional oil may be right for Knoxville drivers with simple engine designs and regular, instead of severe, driving styles.
You can find out what oil is recommended for your vehicle by checking the owner's manual, viewing the stamp on the engine oil cap, or speaking with our service team. Some vehicles can run fine with conventional oil, but synthetic oil would be an upgrade. Other vehicles, such as cars with turbo or superchargers, require semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil to protect their engines.
