Comprehensive Oil Change Service at Mangino Buick GMC 

Maintaining optimal engine performance is crucial for your vehicle’s longevity, and at Mangino Buick GMC in Ballston Spa, NY, our team of Certified Service experts ensures every oil change is performed to the highest standard. From checking oil levels to choosing the right type of oil, our service process is designed to keep your engine running smoothly. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect during your next oil change with us. 

Step 1: Engine Oil Inspection 

Before performing an oil change, we begin by thoroughly inspecting your engine’s oil condition. Our trained technicians evaluate: 

Oil Quality: Checking for signs of dirty or burned oil. 

Oil Levels: Ensuring oil levels are adequate for engine function. 

Leaks: Examining for any oil leaks or irregularities in the engine. 

This step guarantees that any underlying issues are caught early, preventing engine damage and ensuring smooth operation. 

Step 2: Draining the Old Oil 

Once the inspection is complete, the next phase is draining the used oil from the engine. This process involves removing the oil drain plug and letting the oil flow out completely. It’s important that the oil drains fully to avoid mixing old oil with the fresh batch, ensuring your engine is lubricated with clean, high-quality oil. 

Step 3: Replacing the Oil Filter 

An essential part of any oil change is replacing the oil filter. Over time, oil filters become clogged with debris and particles that they have filtered out of the engine oil. By installing a new filter, we prevent contaminants from circulating through the engine and compromising performance. 

Step 4: Adding Fresh Oil 

After draining the old oil and replacing the filter, we proceed to fill your engine with fresh oil. The correct type and amount of oil are selected based on your Buick or GMC model’s specifications. At Mangino Buick GMC, we offer a variety of oils, including ACDelco GM OE Dexos™1 Full Synthetic Oil and Mobil 1™ Full Synthetic Oil, tailored to keep your engine running at peak performance. 

Step 5: Checking Oil Levels Again 

After the fresh oil is added, we double-check the levels using the dipstick. This ensures that your vehicle has the proper amount of oil to maintain smooth engine operation. If necessary, we’ll top it off, ensuring it is filled to the recommended level. 

Step 6: Resetting the Oil Life Monitoring System 

Most of today’s Buick and GMC vehicles are equipped with an Oil Life Monitoring System (OLM), which tracks your vehicle’s oil condition and alerts you when it’s time for a change. After the service, we reset the system to reflect the new oil change, so you’re always aware of the next service interval. 

Step 7: Final Vehicle Inspection 

Once the oil change is complete, our service team will conduct a multi-point vehicle inspection to assess other critical systems. This includes checking: 

Tire Condition: Ensuring tires are properly inflated and free from excessive wear. 

Brake System: Checking the condition of brake pads and rotors. 

Fluid Levels: Verifying brake, coolant, and power steering fluids are at proper levels. 

Battery Health: Examining battery charge and connections. 

This comprehensive check helps maintain the overall health of your vehicle, catching any potential issues before they become serious problems.
