Frequently asked questions about engine oil change & replacements in East London
Read our answers to questions about engine oil change costs, symptoms and more.
What does an engine oil change in East London involve?

What are the symptoms of bad engine oil?
Fundamentally, unless it has gone too far, the average motorist is unlikely to know there is something wrong physically with it.
There may be an oil pressure warning on the dashboard that could indicate the oil isn’t circulating as well as it should due to a blocking filter or even a failing oil pump or there may be an oil level warning, which would indicate there isn’t enough oil in the engine. However both of these warnings are not really an indicator of the actual oil quality but can alert you to potential issues.
Therefore typical symptoms are;
- Engine oil level warning
- Engine oil pressure warning
- Service indicator lights
- Oil quality warning light

Should I change engine oil every 10,000 miles?
Most auto manufacturers recommend changing engine oil every 5000-7000 miles. However, keep in mind that older cars may need its engine oil changed more frequently. The best thing to do is check the owner's manual for manufacturer recommended oil change frequency.
Which engine oil is the best for my car?
The best oil recommended for your car will be listed in the owner's manual.
Engine oil comes in different viscosities, and is generally signified by a grade number, such as 5w40. It is important to consult the owner's manual as using the wrong type of oil can cause stress to the mechanical components of the engine that need optimum lubrication.
Is a bad engine oil an MOT failure?

I booked a pre-purchase inspection. Found the process straight forward. On the booking page I was presented with three mechanics to chose from but I left it open. There are more mechanics available then than this page shows.
I received a prompt reply From Rhys with link to his previous reviews I could check out before booking. On booking I was sent contact details for Rhys.
Rhys informed me that I did not have to be present which saved me the journey. I really appreciated the communication throughout the day & I received the report on the same day.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Rhys or ClickMechanic.”
