Oil Changes // Schaghticoke
More than a drain and fill.

The old oil drains out, a new filter goes on, and fresh oil goes in at the amount your engine calls for.
While the vehicle is up, the crew looks over what is underneath: leaks, torn boots, loose shields and worn belts.
You hear about anything that needs attention, and nothing gets done without your say.
Cars and light trucks come into the bay on Pleasant Ave in Schaghticoke.

Cold starts are hard on oil.
Cold starts are hard on oil.
On a January morning in Rensselaer County, thick oil takes longer to reach the top of the engine.
Short trips never let the engine warm up fully, and that can leave moisture and fuel in the oil.
A change before the cold sets in is a good habit, and so is one after a long humid summer of stop and go.
Oil changes happen in the bay on Pleasant Ave, where the vehicle can go up on the lift for a proper look underneath.
Fleet trucks that cannot leave the lot are a different story.
Call (518) 441-6283 and describe the truck, and you will hear on the call whether the crew can come to you.

Questions
Questions about oil changes.
What type of oil should I use?
Use what the manufacturer calls for. It is in the owner’s manual and often printed on the oil cap.
If you are not sure, ask when you call and the crew will look it up for your vehicle.
Do you check anything besides the oil?
Yes. The crew looks over what is visible underneath and under the hood, like leaks, belts, hoses and fluid levels.
You hear about anything worth a second look.
How often should I change the oil?
It depends on the engine, the oil and how the vehicle is driven.
Short trips, cold starts and heavy loads all shorten the interval. Your owner’s manual gives the starting point.
