Every semester we meet students who've just realized their car is now entirely their responsibility. If that's you, here's everything you need to know in about two minutes.
1. Find Out What Your Car Takes
Check the oil cap under the hood or the owner's manual in the glove box — you're looking for something like 5W-30. Can't find it? Call us with your year, make, and model and we'll look it up.
2. Change It More Often Than You'd Think
Short trips around town in subzero cold are what manuals call "severe service," and that's most driving in Rexburg. Plan on 4,000–5,000 miles on conventional or 6,000–7,500 on synthetic — roughly once a semester.
3. Check Your Oil Level Monthly
Older cars burn oil, and running low will destroy an engine faster than old oil will. Park level, wait five minutes after shutting off, then pull the dipstick, wipe it, and dip again.
4. Call Before You Drive Home for Break
A 900-mile drive is not the time to discover a weak battery. Call us a week or two before finals and we'll get you in for an oil change and a road-trip check before the rush.
Call (208) 555-0173 any time — we're happy to answer questions even if you're not ready to book.
