How Often Should I Get My Oil Changed?
Most modern Buick and GMC vehicles are equipped with an oil life monitoring system, which notifies you when it's time for an oil change. As a general guideline, many vehicles can go between 7,500 and 10,000 miles between oil changes if using synthetic oil. If you often drive in stop-and-go traffic, haul heavy loads, or navigate hot weather, you may need to schedule service more frequently to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Our certified technicians can advise you based on your driving habits and vehicle model.
What's Included in a Multi-Point Inspection?
A multi-point inspection at Buick GMC Sherman Oaks includes a detailed review of your vehicle's major systems and components. We check tire tread depth and wear, fluid levels, brake condition, battery health, belts and hoses, and more.
