What’s Included in an Oil Change Service?

Think an oil change service is just about replacing the motor oil? When you bring your pre-owned vehicle to Moran Certified Pre-Owned, our trained technicians perform a comprehensive inspection that goes far beyond the basics. Think of it as a complete health checkup for your car. Here’s everything that happens while your vehicle is in our care.

The Main Event: Fresh Oil and a New Filter

The heart of every oil change service involves draining your old motor oil and replacing it with fresh, clean product that meets your vehicle’s exact specifications. We install a brand-new oil filter to trap contaminants and keep that fresh oil clean as it circulates through your engine. This combination ensures your engine stays properly lubricated and protected from the heat and friction that builds up during everyday driving.

Six Critical Fluids We Check

Your car runs on more than just engine oil. Our technicians inspect and top off six essential fluids during every visit, each of which plays a vital role in keeping you safe and your vehicle running smoothly.

• Coolant – Prevents engine overheating and helps maintain proper operating temperature.
• Brake Fluid – Delivers reliable braking response and consistent stopping power.
• Transmission Fluid – Supports smooth shifting and protects internal transmission components.
• Power Steering Fluid – Reduces steering effort for easier, more controlled handling.
• Differential Fluid – Lubricates drivetrain gears to reduce wear and improve performance.
• Windshield Washer Fluid – Keeps the windshield clean for clear, safe visibility.

Safety and Performance Inspection

With pre-owned vehicles, it’s crucial to make sure your ride is safe to drive. While we’re under the hood, we inspect your battery terminals for corrosion and test its charge to prevent unexpected breakdowns. Your tire pressure gets checked and adjusted to the manufacturer’s recommended specification for optimal fuel economy and even tread wear.

We examine your serpentine belts and hoses for cracks or wear, and your air filters are inspected to ensure clean airflow to your engine and cabin. We also test all exterior lights including headlights, brake lights, and turn signals, to keep you from encountering a roadside emergency. We’ll even inspect your wiper blades, because clear visibility matters in any weather condition.
