    7 Signs Your Vehicle Needs an Oil Change

    If you don’t understand much about cars, you may still realize your vehicle needs engine oil, but you may not know what it does. That’s okay. Just as long as you regularly get your oil changed, your vehicle has little danger of breaking down unless something goes wrong with another one of its crucial components.

    You can get an oil change, Spanish Fork residents, but before you do, you should learn about some key signs that your car is due for this regular part of its maintenance.

    Your Gears Don’t Shift Smoothly

     You should be able to shift your car’s gears smoothly. If they’re rough when you’re trying to go from one to another, that’s often a sign that you need an oil change. Once you change your oil, try shifting gears and see whether that has solved the problem.

     Your Car is Making Any Kind of Unusual Noise

     If your car is making a knocking or grinding noise, that could indicate that you need to change the oil. It’s not a guarantee that the two things are connected, but that’s one of the first fixes you can attempt if you’re hearing noises from your car that you’ve never noticed before.

     You Travel More than the Average Motorist

     You might have to drive a lot for work. It could be that you work for Uber or Lyft. You may also work for Doordash or Grubhub.

    Any time you put in a lot of hours behind the wheel, you should change your oil more often. You can talk to your mechanic about a schedule that makes sense.

     There’s a Burning Smell

     A burning smell when you start the engine often means that you have parts grinding together. Part of the oil’s job is to lubricate various crucial parts of the car’s undercarriage. If you smell burning, that likely means you need some fresh engine oil immediately.

    The Car is Vibrating Much More than Normal

     Your vehicle should always run smoothly, but if you have an older car, you may notice it vibrates a bit, especially when it’s idling, or you’re going at high speeds on the highway. However, if you feel that it’s vibrating way more than normal, that probably means you need some new oil.

    Dashboard Warning Lights

     Your dashboard has many warning lights that might come on. If the “check engine” light comes on, that could mean you need an oil change, but some other lights may become illuminated as well.

    That could be your car’s way of trying to tell you that something has gone wrong or is about to go wrong. Have a mechanic look it over, but an oil change might be what fixes the issue.

    You Can Tell Your Oil Level is Low

     If your car is experiencing any of the problems we mentioned, you can check your oil level with a dipstick. It’s easy to do, and if your level is lower than usual, that’s a sign you need some fresh oil without delays.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
