Engine oil is your vehicle's lifeblood — skip changes too long and internal components wear faster, run hotter, and eventually fail. At Vertical Automotive in Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale, our ASE-certified technicians perform thorough oil and filter services for all makes and models, using the correct oil grade specified by your manufacturer. Beyond the oil change, we inspect belts, hoses, fluid levels, and engine components during every visit — catching small issues before they become expensive problems. We also perform spark plug replacement, fuel filter service, and complete engine diagnostics when needed.
Follow your manufacturer's recommended interval — typically every 3,000–7,500 miles depending on oil type and driving conditions. South Florida's stop-and-go traffic and heat put extra stress on engine oil. If your oil light is on, the oil appears dark and gritty, or you hear unusual engine noise, schedule service immediately.
Consistent oil changes reduce engine friction, prevent sludge buildup, maintain fuel efficiency, and protect against premature wear. It's the most cost-effective maintenance you can do — and the easiest way to avoid a major engine repair bill.
