Synthetic Oil Changes

If you've been shopping around for oil and oil change service in West Houston, chances are you've come across the term "synthetic oil." If you're already familiar with and prefer synthetic oil in your vehicle, great! We offer several types of synthetic oil that will put life back into your vehicle. If you're not as familiar with it and want to know a little bit more about synthetic oil, keep reading to get some of your questions about this oil type answered.

Some people prefer synthetic oil over conventional because it tends to offer higher-quality lubrication, and (for any Science-heads out there) synthetic oil is more chemically stable. Usually, getting synthetic oil means you can sometimes go a bit longer between oil changes. It also flows better during cold weather, and full synthetics protect your engine better from wear due to overheating. Check your owner's manual to see the oil type suggested by the OEM. If there's not a strict requirement for conventional oil, that usually means you're completely safe to switch to synthetic if you want. Let us know, and we'll give you the low-down on what it might mean for your specific car!

Snail-Paced Service Is a Thing of the Past

Most of us have been there. We bring our car in for oil changes, and we get to stay in a less-than-impressive waiting room for stale coffee and decades-old seating. And we wait. And we wait. And we wait. We wait until we can't possibly stand it anymore, and when you're about ready to throw in the towel and do it yourself, the mechanic comes back and says your car is ready (and they've done a few other "necessary" services that they didn't tell you about).

At Volvo Cars in Westside Houston, we have three words for you: Oil Change Express. When you get oil changes with us, every service will be fast and transparent. Our technicians know their way around a simple oil change better than they know the backs of their hands! Not to mention, we will change your oil, and that's it (unless you've scheduled another maintenance request). We don't throw in hidden services or arbitrary fees, and our coffee is always fresh!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Volvo car require special oil?

With any modern Volvo car, synthetic oil is recommended, as its special lab-designed down-to-the-molecule formula is required to get the best performance, longevity, and health from your engine. The special Volvo synthetic oil blend is tailored for the car's precision engines. Your Volvo car's owner's manual will show you this info as well, and when you visit our oil change center in Houston, TX, you can get a synthetic oil change for a deal.

How often should a Volvo car get an oil change?

A modern Volvo car should get an oil change between every 7,500 and 10,000 miles when synthetic oil is used. However, driving conditions, like taking frequent trips, may lower the interval. An on-time oil change is important for your Volvo car, and severe damage can occur if the interval is ignored. Contact our Volvo car oil change team in West Houston to learn more.

How do I know when my Volvo car needs an oil change?

Your Volvo car may have a maintenance reminder light that'll let you know when it needs an oil change, but the typical Volvo synthetic oil change interval of 7,500 to 10,000 miles is also a good guideline. In extreme cases where the oil change interval is neglected, signs like louder-than-usual engine noises or diminishing fuel efficiency will let you know that your Volvo car urgently needs an oil change.
