Oil Changes
Quick, clean, and done right — quality products that protect your engine, whether it's a commuter or a flat-six.
Oil change intervals vary more than the old "every 3,000 miles" rule suggests — most modern vehicles on full synthetic run 5,000 to 10,000 miles, and some European manufacturers specify longer, based on an oil-life monitoring system rather than a flat mileage number. What matters more than the interval is using the specification the manufacturer actually calls for.
That's a real distinction on European vehicles in particular: BMW Longlife, Mercedes-Benz sheet numbers, and VW/Audi and Porsche approvals aren't interchangeable with a generic viscosity match, and the wrong oil can affect emissions components and service intervals. Impact Auto Repair stocks oils that meet the spec each engine requires, whether it's a daily commuter or a flat-six.

Oil Changes — Questions
We service European vehicles daily and use oils that meet the manufacturer specification your engine calls for.
Follow the interval in your owner's manual rather than a generic rule. Many modern vehicles on full synthetic run 5,000 to 10,000 miles, and some European models specify longer. Short trips, extreme heat, towing and heavy idling all justify shortening it.
Usually, yes. Many European manufacturers require oil carrying a specific approval — BMW Longlife, Mercedes-Benz sheet numbers, VW/Audi specs and Porsche approvals are all common. These are not interchangeable with a generic viscosity match, and using the wrong oil can affect emissions components and service intervals.
