Q&A

How often should I change my vehicle's oil?

It is generally recommended to change your vehicle's oil every 4,000 to 5,000 miles or as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.

What is a catch can and why should I use one?

A catch can is a device that separates oil vapors and prevents them from entering the intake manifold. Using a catch can helps keep the valves clean and prevents oil contamination.

What are the benefits of using Fluid Film or Blaster service shield?

Fluid Film and Blaster service shield are effective in protecting your vehicle from rust and corrosion. They create a barrier that prevents moisture and salt from causing damage.

What is the advantage of using a larger oil filter?

Using a larger oil filter, such as the FL820, increases the oil capacity of your vehicle's system and improves filtration, leading to better engine performance and protection.

How does the oil weight affect my vehicle's performance?

Different oil weights, such as 5W30 or 10W30, can affect engine performance and noise levels. Thicker oils, like 10W30, may provide better lubrication at higher temperatures, while thinner oils, like 5W30, may improve cold start performance.
