Nobody ever wants to deal with getting new tires for their car, truck or SUV. Like a lot of automotive maintenance tasks, it's just something that has to be done every once in awhile. The more you drive, the more the treads will wear out. Eventually, it becomes quite dangerous to drive on bald tires.

It's time to get an oil change. It seems like you just did it recently, but your car's service indicator light came on or you've notice we've reached the mileage in the little sticker on the window that they put up after the last oil change.

What You Need to Know About Oil Changes Whether you change the oil and oil filter in your own garage, take it to a quick lube place or bring it to a professional full-service auto shop like Fox Run Auto, you may overlook just how important oil changes really are.
