If your oil change reminder light has turned on in your Subaru, Chevrolet, Jeep, Ford, or any other make and model, it’s time to visit Scott's Ivy Exxon in Charlottesville. We’ve been performing professional oil changes and routine vehicle maintenance since 1991, and we make it easy to stay on top of one of the most important services your car needs.
Your engine depends on clean, properly flowing oil to lubricate moving parts, regulate temperature, and prevent the buildup of harmful contaminants. Over time, engine oil breaks down and loses its effectiveness, especially under heavy use or extreme temperatures. Without regular oil changes, your engine can:
Overheat or seize
Suffer from premature wear and tear
Lose efficiency and burn more fuel
Experience sludge buildup and blocked oil flow
That’s why staying on a consistent oil change schedule is essential to keeping your car running safely and efficiently for years to come.
At Scott's Ivy Exxon, our Reliable technicians provide a comprehensive service with every oil change, including:
Draining old engine oil
Replacing your oil filter
Adding new oil of the correct type and weight
Inspecting fluid levels (coolant, transmission, brake, power steering, washer fluid)
Checking for leaks, worn belts, or cracked hoses
Resetting your vehicle’s oil change reminder (if applicable)
Whether your vehicle uses conventional, semi-synthetic, full synthetic, or Euro-spec oil, we’ll recommend the best option for your make and model.
Even if the dashboard light isn’t on yet, your vehicle might already be showing signs it’s due. Common symptoms include:
Excessive exhaust smoke or fumes
Unusual ticking or knocking noises from the engine
Drop in fuel efficiency (MPG)
Burning smell or strange odors
Rough engine starts or vibration at idle
If you’re experiencing any of these, don’t delay, bring your vehicle in to Scott's Ivy Exxon today for an inspection and oil change.
The answer depends on:
The type of oil your vehicle uses
The age and mileage of your car
Your driving habits (frequent stop-and-go traffic, short trips, towing, etc.)
In general, vehicles using synthetic oil can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles, while those using conventional oil may need service every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Not sure what oil your car takes?
