Professional Oil Change Service
in Stratford, PE -
Full Synthetic Every Time
Premium Oil Changes That Go Beyond the Basics
An oil change might seem straightforward, but there’s a big difference between a quick lube and professional service. At Wendell Taylor’s Garage, every oil change includes full synthetic oil and a comprehensive inspection that could save you from major problems down the road.
We don’t rush through oil changes because your engine deserves better than that. Our Red Seal certified technicians treat every service as an opportunity to check your vehicle’s overall health, catching potential issues while they’re still small and manageable.
Comprehensive Inspection
with Every Service
Look, when we’re already under your hood changing oil, it just makes sense to check everything else while we’re there. Our technicians take the time to inspect belts, hoses, fluid levels, battery condition, and look for anything that might cause problems down the road.
This saves you from those frustrating moments when something breaks at the worst possible time. We’ll tell you straight up what’s important and what can wait, so you can make smart decisions about your vehicle without any surprises.
Common Oil-Related
Problems We Prevent
Regular oil changes with quality products prevent these expensive engine problems we see too often:
Sludge Buildup
Dirty oil transforms into thick, tar-like sludge that blocks vital oil passages, starves engine components of lubrication, and causes severe internal damage requiring expensive engine repairs.
Engine Wear
Old, degraded oil loses its protective properties, allowing increased friction between moving parts, causing premature wear of pistons, bearings, and other critical engine components.
Oil Leaks
Deteriorated seals and gaskets from poor maintenance create messy oil leaks in your driveway, low oil levels, and potential environmental hazards that require costly repairs.
Filter Bypass
Completely clogged oil filters force dirty oil to bypass filtration entirely, allowing harmful contaminants and metal particles to circulate freely throughout your engine's lubrication system.
Overheating Issues
Poor oil circulation from contaminated or insufficient oil causes engine temperatures to rise dangerously, potentially warping cylinder heads or cracking engine blocks completely.
Timing Chain Problems
Inadequate lubrication from neglected oil changes causes expensive timing chain stretch, rattling noises, and potentially catastrophic engine failure requiring complete engine replacement.

Condition Check
Your battery, drive belts, and serpentine belts are visually inspected for wear or damage. It’s all part of making sure you don’t get caught off guard.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How often should I change my oil?
Most vehicles with full synthetic oil need changes every 8,000-10,000 kilometers or 6 months, depending on driving conditions and manufacturer recommendations. Severe conditions like frequent short trips or stop-and-go driving may require more frequent changes.
What is the difference between synthetic and conventional oil?
Synthetic oil is engineered for superior performance, lasting longer and providing better protection than conventional oil. It flows better in cold weather, resists breakdown in high temperatures, and contains fewer impurities that can damage your engine.
Can I switch to synthetic oil if I've been using conventional?
Yes, you can safely switch to synthetic oil at any time. Synthetic oil will not damage seals or gaskets in properly maintained engines, and the superior protection and longer service intervals make it a worthwhile upgrade.
Why do some places offer much cheaper oil changes?
Cheaper oil changes often use lower-quality conventional oil, basic filters, and minimal service. Professional oil changes include full synthetic oil, quality filters, comprehensive inspections, and proper disposal of waste materials, providing much better value.
