Engine oil plays a crucial role in keeping your engine healthy. The oil plays a vital role in lubricating parts, minimising friction, and preventing your vehicle from overheating.
As time passes, the purity of this oil diminishes, reducing functionality and putting your engine at unnecessary risk.
Booking an oil change ahead of time helps you keep your engine healthy, maximising longevity and minimising the risk of costly engine repairs.
After working on thousands of vehicles over the years, we have noticed some common indications that your vehicle may need an oil change.
Here are some warning signs your car may need an oil change ASAP:
The most common indication that you need an oil change is your dashboard oil light turning on. It may be red or amber in colour.
Many modern cars will tell you when an oil change or service is due. Do not ignore this message for too long, especially if you do a lot of short trips around Cardiff.
If the engine sounds rough, rattly, or louder than usual, this is a telltale sign that your oil needs swapping out.
Old oil can make the engine work harder. If you’ve noticed your vehicle’s fuel economy has dropped, this could be a sign you need an oil change.
Here at Lawfix Automotive, we provide a comprehensive oil change service that offers excellent value for money.
Here’s what’s typically included in our oil change service:
✅ Old engine oil drained from the vehicle
✅ Correct new oil added for your make and model
✅ Oil level checked after the engine has run
✅ Oil cap and dipstick checked
✅ Dashboard oil or service warning checked
✅ Basic visual check around the engine bay
✅ Service light reset where possible
✅ Service book stamped where needed
✅ Old oil disposed of safely
If your car is due for a major service, we can advise on whether it’s required and get it done while your oil change is being undertaken. We only push a service when it’s actually needed.

The oil filter traps dirt and small particles as the oil circulates through the engine. If the filter is old or blocked, fresh oil cannot do its job as well as it should.
A majority of our customers ask for an oil filter change when we perform a vehicle oil change. That does not mean we’ll carry out a filter change without asking.
We’ll assess whether your vehicle requires a filter change, explain what your car needs, give you the price, and only proceed once you’re happy.
A new oil filter is usually a smart choice because it helps:
✅ Keep the new oil cleaner
✅ Protect the engine from dirt and debris
✅ Support better oil flow
✅ Reduce wear inside the engine
The right oil type we use will depend on your car’s make, model, engine and manufacturer’s spec.
Before quoting, we will check your registration and confirm the correct oil grade for your vehicle.
This matters because the wrong oil can cause poor running, warning lights, higher engine wear, and issues with parts like the DPF or timing chain on some vehicles.
Common oil grades we use at our garage include:
✅ 5W-30
✅ 0W-20
✅ 5W-40
Don’t worry, you don’t need to know the oil grade before getting in touch. Just send us your registration, and we’ll figure out exactly which type you require.
