An oil change is the most fundamental act of vehicle maintenance, and one of the most important. Engine oil lubricates, cleans, cools, and protects the moving parts inside your engine. Over time it degrades, becomes contaminated, and loses its ability to do those jobs effectively. The consequences of neglecting it range from increased engine wear to, in serious cases, significant and expensive damage.
At CCM, oil changes are carried out to the correct specification for your vehicle – the right oil grade, the right filter, and the right quantity – as a standalone service or as part of a broader service visit.
Not all engine oils are the same. Modern engines – including those from VW Group, BMW, Mercedes and Land Rover – have specific oil approval requirements, and using the wrong grade can affect performance, fuel economy, and engine longevity. We always use the correct specification for your make, model, and engine.
Manufacturer recommendations vary, but as a general guide:
