Most GMC vehicles come with a built-in technology called an Oil Life System (OLS). Based on the number of revolutions your engine has completed, its temperature, and miles driven, this system will calculate the unique percentage of life your oil currently has left.

When your vehicle sends out an alert that your oil has 15% life left, it is time to schedule an oil change service. A GM-certified professional will be able to determine which type of oil is best suited to your vehicle. They will then proceed to drain all of the old oil out and replace it with fresh, new oil.

Tire Rotation

At an oil change service, it is often recommended to have your tires rotated as well. At GMC, qualified experts will rotate all four tires to balance the wear and prevent the loss of tread depth. In checking the alignment and balance, they will be able to help your vehicle maintain optimal performance and safety.

Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection

This inspection can be a valuable addition to your oil change. Not only will the technicians focus on the engine but they will expand their view to the whole system of your vehicle. A Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection includes a comprehensive analysis of the following components:

Wiper Blades and Glass

The wiper blades in the front and back of your vehicle will be inspected for wear, and the glass of all windows will be looked over for any sign of cracks or chips.

Brakes

Brake tests are performed checking all hoses and lines, while measurements are taken of the front and rear brake pads to assess the amount of wear and condition.

Battery

A visual scan, connection cleaning, and battery connection test will take place to make sure that your battery is strong. If the battery is not functioning properly you could be at risk of being unable to start your vehicle.

Fluid Levels

The Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection also includes scrutiny of all of the fluid levels in your vehicle. Fluids such as windshield washer liquid and brake reservoir fluid will be filled to factory specifications.

OnStar

While OnStar may not be a service that you use every day, the last thing you want is to get stuck without it. The experts at GMC care about your safety more than anything else, and with every inspection, they will make sure that your OnStar system is set up and working correctly.

It is important to have oil checks regularly for your vehicle’s engine health and complete safety. Each time you need an oil change for your GMC vehicle is an opportunity to get the best quality service. By including a tire rotation and Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection with your oil change you will leave reassured that every aspect of your vehicle is in peak working condition. Contact Crenwelge Motors GMC for more information.
