" Ever wonder what's the big deal about regular oil changes?"

Pictures speak louder than words. The screen of the oil pump on this vehicle was sitting in 1 1/2 " of sludge." We have a sample of the stuff that came out of the oil pan of this car in a jar on display in the waiting room. The sad part is, once we got it all cleaned up and put back together, the oil pressure went from 0 to 70 psi which was GREAT!!! But after the engine warmed up, the pressure dropped to 25 psi. This means they ran the engine so long with the oil pressure light flickering on and off that the internal components of the engine were ruined.

The only solution now is to pull the engine and overhaul it. This engine would have lasted a lot longer on this 1997 Toyota Camry if it had been properly serviced on regular intervals!

The best way to avoid problems is to try to prevent them from happening. We at Pro Car Care believe preventative maintenance and knowledge is the key to avoiding problems with your automobile.

At Pro Car Care, your safety is our primary concern. Keeping your vehicle serviced and checked out with every full service oil change is the first step to keeping you and your family safe out on the road
