DC Automotive ServicesOil Changes & Fluids in Minnesota
An oil change is also a chance to catch small problems early. While your car is in, we take a look at the things that tend to wear: fluids, belts, hoses, tires, and lights.
What's
included.
We use the oil type and grade your vehicle's manufacturer calls for, and we'll tell you if anything else is coming due.
Every job starts with an upfront estimate, and we call before doing anything extra.

Good

Straight answers to what people ask us most. Don't see yours? Give us a call.
Call (XXX) XXX-XXXXHow often should I change my oil?
Follow your owner's manual or your car's oil-life monitor. Many newer cars on synthetic oil go well past the old 3,000-mile rule. Short trips and Minnesota cold starts count as severe driving, so lean toward the shorter interval.
Do I need synthetic oil?
If your manufacturer specifies it, yes. Many newer engines require it. If yours doesn't, we'll go over the options.
Why do other fluids need changing?
Coolant, transmission fluid, and brake fluid break down or absorb moisture over time. Changing them on schedule is much cheaper than the repairs that worn-out fluid can cause.
