How often should I get an oil change?

We recommend an oil change every 5,000 miles for synthetic oil or every 3,000 miles for conventional oil, or as advised by your vehicle’s manual.

Do I really need to replace the oil filter every time?

Yes. Oil filters trap contaminants that can harm your engine. Replacing your filter with every oil change ensures optimal engine performance and longevity.

What happens if I skip regular oil changes?

Skipping regular oil changes can lead to engine sludge build-up, reduced fuel efficiency, overheating, and potentially expensive engine damage.

Can Pitstop SRQ handle specialty oils for my imported vehicle?

Absolutely. We stock a variety of specialty oils and can source specific products if needed for unique or imported vehicles.

How long does an oil change take at Pitstop SRQ?

Most oil changes at Pitstop SRQ are completed within 30 minutes, ensuring you're back on Sarasota roads quickly and safely.
