Oil change

The most important maintenance for a car is an oil change, that prolongs the life of the engine and other important parts of the car. 1arenkaat recommends to change the oil according to the kilometer. In general, the oil is replaced on old diesel engines after 10,000 km of mileage, on new ones - after 15,000 km. In the case of petrol engines, we recommend to change the oil after every 15,000 km of mileage on old cars and up to 30,000 km on new ones.

1arenkaat offers its customers quality engine oils and filters. You can replace the oil in our car repair service at Valokaari 10, Helsinki.

It is important to know that only a specific engine oil is suitable for each car. Using an unsuitable oil can lead, for example, to filter clogging and turbine malfunction. Together with the replacement of oil, it is necessary to replace the filter.
