Oils and Lubricants:Today's oils and lubricants are a combination of lubricants and cleaning agents designed to reduce friction and improve fuel mileage. There is a large number of brands and combinations on the market. Engine oil is rated by its thickness and resistance to breakdown. Common engine oil is rated 5W30. The 5 and 30 indicate the oil can be used in hot or cold climates. The 5 is a thinner oil while the 30 is the thicker oil. New engines have lower tolerances between moving parts and require thinner oil. The older model engines generally use a thicker oil.Synthetic oils are made from chemicals and do not use natural petroleum products. The synthetics are rated the same as the petroleum based lubricants. While synthetics are better than the petroleum based oils, they are more expensive. Synthetic blends(part synthetic and part petroleum based) are also available. The blends are a little cheaper than synthetics but are still more expensive than the petroleum based. Be sure to check your owners manual and use or request the oil that is recommended for your vehicle. Also, don't put off the suggested scheduled maintenance tables in your manual. Your engine will work better and last longer if you take care and follow a program of preventive maintenance. This we save you the anguish of an expensive engine repair or replacement of the complete engine.


Oil Filter: The typical oil filter consists of a high-strength steel housing containing various types of filtering media. An anti-drainback valve prevents oil from running out of the filter when the engine is off. Today’s oil filters have a convenient spin-on design that makes removal and installation easy.The oil filter sifts out contaminants, allowing the oil to flow through the engine unrestricted. Should the oil filter become restricted or clogged with contaminants, they will flow around the filter. This bypassing is a safety mechanism, but you never want to let oil and filter changes go so long that bypassing takes place, it can result in engine damage. If you change the filter yourself, dispose of it properly. Take used filters or used oil to a facility that accepts them. We accept used oil and add it with our own for pick up by a Florida state licensed recycling firm. Be sure your waste oil is free of water, antifreeze or gasoline. Recyclers won't pick up waste oil if it contains any of these substances. So be sure to keep your waste oil in a separate covered container until you can take it to be disposed of. Used filters can be crushed, removing the used oil and the steel part of the filter can be recycled. The oil from one used, seemingly innocent filter leaking into a landfill can taint 62,000 gallons of ground water.
