Why Toronto driving often counts as severe service
- Short trips where the engine never fully warms up
- Stop-and-go traffic
- Cold winters
- Lots of idling, or rideshare and delivery driving
Time matters too
Oil ages even when the car sits. If you don't drive much, change it at least as often as the time limit in your manual, even if you haven't reached the kilometres.
Signs it's due
- The oil-life monitor or maintenance light is on
- The oil on the dipstick is low or very dark and gritty
- The engine sounds louder or ticks on start-up
- It's been longer than your manual's time limit
What's included at our shop
