How Do I Know I Need an Oil Change?


Last month, we chatted about winterization services for your Honda--but you may still be wondering about which tires are going to be the very best fit for your unique driving needs in Selma, TX.
The average low temperature for November in San Antonio is just under 50 degrees: that's pretty chilly for Texans, but it's by no means arctic. While you may be able to cruise through a winter on your normal tires, you may want to consider winter tires--yes, even in Texas!
You may think that winterization auto service is only for our cousins far up north, but if you've lived in San Antonio for more than a few years, you know that we can never be 100% sure what the winter season will show.
Sometimes we enjoy mild, temperature winters--but sometimes we see serious snowfall and ice storms! Fortunately, the team at Gillman Honda San Antonio is ready with the best local winterizing tips.
If you were planning to say "3 months and 3,000 miles", you may be in for a surprise.
You see, many popular quick-lube stores in San Antonio like to use that number--3 months/3K miles--to scam unknowing drivers into spending more money at their shops by getting their oil changed way more frequently than it needs to be.
Modern synthetic oil is stronger and more durable than ever, which means it can last much longer than it used to. Only very old vehicles, or vehicles working under very high stress, need such frequent oil changes.
