“Ben was great. Precise 30 minute time slot and gave me a call when he was 5 minutes away. He was polite and friendly. I have struggled in the past to obtain a stop-start battery and get it fitted. Found the click mechanic site and was delighted to find they could do this. Put the work order in late Friday afternoon and all done by 10:30 on Saturday. So relieved to have it sorted just before Christmas.”

“Raja was superb. Thank you ! I was immediately impressed with Raja. He thoroughly and carefully explained what he was going to do. He had to revisit because he had to purchase a part directly from Peugeot. We agreed together a convenient time to come back and he arrived promptly once more. I have to say that I have never felt so confident with a tradesman as I did with Raja. I truly could not recommend him more. Once more, thanks again Raja.”

Frequently asked questions about engine oil change & replacements in St Albans

Read our answers to questions about engine oil change costs, symptoms and more.

What does an engine oil change in St Albans involve?

  • The mechanic will raise the vehicle and ensure that the surrounding area is protected against any spillage
  • The mechanic will drain the oil and change the oil filter
  • Mechanic will then refill the engine with the correct grade and quantity of quality oil
  • Mechanic will run the engine and once cool, will re check the level
  • Any dashboard based oil service and quality warnings will be reset to indicate the oil service has been performed

What are the symptoms of bad engine oil?

Fundamentally, unless it has gone too far, the average motorist is unlikely to know there is something wrong physically with it.

There may be an oil pressure warning on the dashboard that could indicate the oil isn’t circulating as well as it should due to a blocking filter or even a failing oil pump or there may be an oil level warning, which would indicate there isn’t enough oil in the engine. However both of these warnings are not really an indicator of the actual oil quality but can alert you to potential issues.
Therefore typical symptoms are;

  • Engine oil level warning
  • Engine oil pressure warning
  • Service indicator lights
  • Oil quality warning light

How long will an engine oil change take in St Albans?

An engine oil change usually takes around 1 hour, but can take less or more time.

Should I change engine oil every 10,000 miles?

Most auto manufacturers recommend changing engine oil every 5000-7000 miles. However, keep in mind that older cars may need its engine oil changed more frequently. The best thing to do is check the owner's manual for manufacturer recommended oil change frequency.

Which engine oil is the best for my car?

Engine oil comes in different viscosities, and is generally signified by a grade number, such as 5w40. It is important to consult the owner's manual as using the wrong type of oil can cause stress to the mechanical components of the engine that need optimum lubrication.

Is a bad engine oil an MOT failure?
