Oil is changed as and when required as per manufacturers’ specifications in petrol vehicles due to how much oil technology has advanced. Manufacturers know their vehicles best and that’s why at e-CAR Service we service vehicles according to the manufacturer’s recommendation, including using the oils and lubricants they specifically recommend, ensuring your engine is ‘tuned’ to run in its peak condition.

A major service is one of the most important services that your car will receive, it is essentially a complete overall check of the vehicle. To keep your vehicle in the best possible condition it should typically be serviced every year. However, there are some age and mileage milestones you need to be aware of. As an example, the distance your vehicle covers between oil changes.
