Taking care of it is vital to ensure the proper functioning of your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Engine oil and coolant are both essential and indelible to the health of your vehicle\u2019s engine. In fact, poor lubrication is one of the main causes of engine wear and damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, engine coolant plays a key role in protecting this mechanism. It regulates the engine temperature and works as an antifreeze during extremely cold periods. It should be noted, however, that coolant becomes less effective over time. This is why it\u2019s important to have it regularly changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can count on the experts at your local Certified Auto Repair shop to check the viscosity of your engine oil as well as the oil and coolant levels every time you visit our repair shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large no-padding-columns\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/certifieautoservice.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Lubrification-et-liquide-de-refroidissement_AVCSC_Fre\u0301de\u0301rique_Me\u0301nard-Aubin-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Checking a vehicle\u2019s oil level with a dipstick removed from the engine and wiped with a cloth.\" class=\"wp-image-11792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/certifieautoservice.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Lubrification-et-liquide-de-refroidissement_AVCSC_Fre\u0301de\u0301rique_Me\u0301nard-Aubin-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/certifieautoservice.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Lubrification-et-liquide-de-refroidissement_AVCSC_Fre\u0301de\u0301rique_Me\u0301nard-Aubin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/certifieautoservice.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Lubrification-et-liquide-de-refroidissement_AVCSC_Fre\u0301de\u0301rique_Me\u0301nard-Aubin-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/certifieautoservice.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Lubrification-et-liquide-de-refroidissement_AVCSC_Fre\u0301de\u0301rique_Me\u0301nard-Aubin-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/certifieautoservice.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Lubrification-et-liquide-de-refroidissement_AVCSC_Fre\u0301de\u0301rique_Me\u0301nard-Aubin.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When should you have your engine oil changed?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of the season, whether it\u2019s summer or winter, it\u2019s important to regularly check the engine oil level. Refer to your owner\u2019s manual, as each vehicle has its own recommended maintenance schedule. However, on average, you should have your oil changed every two to four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, we recommend that you have it topped up at least once a year and especially before a long trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re uncertain about the state of your engine oil, don\u2019t hesitate to book an appointment at your nearest Certified Auto Repair shop.
