When entering cooler months, there are a few oil considerations to keep in mind for your vehicle:

1. Viscosity: The viscosity of the oil, or its thickness, can impact how it flows and lubricates the engine components in cold weather. In colder temperatures, oil tends to thicken, which can make it more difficult for the engine to start. Using a lower viscosity oil, such as a 5W-30 or 0W-20, in colder months can help ensure easier starting and better engine protection.

2. Synthetic vs. Conventional oil: Synthetic oils are more stable and have better flow properties in cold temperatures compared to conventional oils. They also provide improved protection and performance at high temperatures. Consider switching to synthetic oil for winter use if you are currently using conventional oil.

3. Oil change intervals: Cold weather driving conditions can put additional strain on your engine, so it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change intervals and maintain proper oil levels to ensure optimal engine performance and protection.

4. Oil additives: Some oil additives are designed to improve engine performance in colder temperatures by providing additional lubrication or enhancing oil flow. Consider using winter-specific additives if you anticipate driving in extremely cold conditions.

Overall, it's important to choose the right type of oil and follow proper maintenance practices to ensure your vehicle's engine is properly lubricated and protected in cooler months. Just Ask Kevin Ackerman for recommendations for winter driving.

Here is a Village Quick L**e Quick Tip!

Reading an engine oil dipstick is a simple task, but it is important to do it correctly to ensure your engine has the proper amount of oil for optimal performance. Here are the steps to properly read an engine oil dipstick:

1. Make sure your engine is turned off and has been sitting for at least a few minutes to allow the oil to settle.

2. Locate the engine oil dipstick, which is typically a brightly colored handle labeled "Engine Oil" or similar. It is usually near the front of the engine and has a loop or T-shaped handle for easy gripping.

3. Pull the dipstick out of the engine and wipe it clean with a rag or paper towel. This will ensure you get an accurate reading of the oil level.

4. Reinsert the dipstick fully into the engine, then pull it out again to check the oil level.

5. The dipstick will have markings or letters indicating the proper oil level. Typically, there will be two marks - one for "full" and one for "low" or "add." The oil level should fall between these two marks.

6. If the oil level is below the "low" mark, you will need to add more oil to bring it up to the proper level. If the oil level is above the "full" mark, you may have too much oil in the engine, which can cause issues like foaming or leaks.

7. After checking the oil level, make sure to securely reinsert the dipstick back into the engine to prevent any dirt or debris from entering.

By following these steps, you can easily and accurately read your engine oil dipstick to ensure your engine has the proper amount of oil for smooth and efficient operation.

PATRIOT DAY AND NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE AND REMEMBRANCE

Patriot Day on September 11 honors the memory of the nearly 3,000 innocent victims who died in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Each year Americans dedicate this day to remembering those who died and the first responders who risked their own lives to save others.

For many, September 11, 2001, began like any other weekday. We made our way to work. Children attended school. We shopped, had coffee, waited in line at a drive-thru. Those of us who weren't in New York City heard the first reports on the radio or television. A friend or neighbor alerted us to a plane flying into one of the Twin Towers. We felt disbelief. An accident, perhaps, a miscalculation. Then, a second plane flew into the second tower. Our disbelief turned into uncertainty and concern.

Every year since that fateful day, the United States comes together to remember the fallen. Please take a minute today to remember the first responders, all that lost their lives, and how families were changed forever.

Village Quick L**e Oil Change Quick Tip!

Clean oil is essential for the optimal functioning of a vehicle engine. Here are some reasons why clean oil is important:

1. Lubrication: One of the primary functions of oil is to lubricate the moving parts of the engine. Clean oil ensures that these parts are properly lubricated, which helps reduce friction and wear and tear on the engine components.

2. Cooling: Oil helps to regulate the engine temperature by absorbing heat from the engine components and transferring it to the oil pan. Clean oil is better at dissipating heat, which helps prevent overheating and engine damage.

3. Cleaning: Clean oil helps to keep the engine clean by picking up dirt, debris, and other contaminants that can accumulate in the engine. This prevents sludge build-up and clogging of the engine components.

4. Sealant: Oil acts as a sealant between the moving parts of the engine, preventing leaks and ensuring proper compression and combustion within the engine cylinders. Clean oil helps to maintain the integrity of these seals and prevent oil leaks.

5. Fuel efficiency: Clean oil reduces the friction in the engine, which can improve fuel efficiency. A well-lubricated engine will run more smoothly and efficiently, resulting in better gas mileage.

Overall, clean oil is essential for the longevity and performance of a vehicle engine. Regular oil changes and maintenance are crucial to ensure that the engine remains in good working condition.

We are available Monday thru Friday from 9:00am to 4:45pm.
