Beyond the Drain Plug: What’s Really Included in a Professional Oil Change Service?

When you book an oil change service, you’re paying for more than just new oil. A professional service is a crucial health check for your vehicle’s engine. At All Place Mobile Oil Change, we bring a complete, shop-quality oil change service right to your driveway in St. Catharines, Welland, Niagara Falls, and across the Niagara region.

Here’s a detailed look at what our certified technicians do during every visit.

The Core Service: Oil & Filter Replacement

This is the foundation of any car oil change:

  1. Complete Oil Drain: We safely drain all the old, degraded engine oil.
  2. Premium Filter Replacement: We install a new, high-quality oil filter to trap contaminants.
  3. Fresh Oil Fill: We refill your engine with the precise grade and amount of oil it requires, from conventional to full synthetic oil.

The All Place Multi-Point Check: Your Extra Layer of Safety

While the oil drains and refills, we don’t just wait. Our service includes a courtesy inspection of key items:

  • Fluid Levels: We check and top up windshield washer fluid, coolant, and brake fluid (as needed and accessible).
  • Tire Pressure: We inspect and inflate all tires to the proper PSI.
  • Visual Inspection: A look under the vehicle for any obvious leaks or damage.
  • Battery Health: A visual check of the battery and terminals for corrosion.
  • Lights: A quick check of headlights, taillights, and brake lights.

The Final Steps: Precision & Clean-Up

Before we call the job done:

  • Leak Check: We start the engine and check for any leaks around the filter and drain plug.
  • Oil Level Verification: We use the dipstick to double-check the oil level is perfect.
  • Maintenance Light Reset: We reset your vehicle’s oil life monitoring system.
  • Responsible Disposal: We take all used oil and the old filter for proper recycling.
