How do you know when your car needs an oil change and maintenance?

Spotting the warning signs early can save you from expensive repairs down the line. Here are the tell-tale signs your car needs an oil change:

• Oil warning light on the dashboard: This indicates critically low oil levels or pressure—pull over and check immediately.
• Unusual engine noise: If your engine sounds louder than usual or you hear knocking, the oil isn't lubricating properly.
• Excessive exhaust smoke: Blue or grey smoke can signal that oil is burning in the engine.
• Reduced fuel efficiency: Dirty oil forces the engine to work harder, using more fuel.
• Engine running rough at idle: Poor lubrication can cause uneven performance.

Checking your oil level and colour monthly is an easy habit that helps you spot problems before they escalate. Most manufacturers recommend an oil change every 5,000–10,000 miles or every 12 months. Ignoring these signs can lead to serious engine damage and costly repairs.

If you notice any of these signs, find your nearest Point S centre and book an appointment today.

Frequently asked questions

Do you also replace air filters during an oil change?

An oil and filter change focuses on replacing the engine oil filter specifically, which is essential for keeping your engine oil clean. However, Point S centres can also inspect and replace air filters (both engine and cabin air filters) as additional work if you request it during your appointment. Air filters typically need replacing every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or so, depending on driving conditions, so it's worth asking your technician to check them while your car is in for service.

How much does an oil change cost at Point S?

At Point S, the cost of an oil and filter change is competitively priced, typically ranging from £60 to £150. The exact price depends on your vehicle's make, model, and the specific grade of oil required. Contact your local Point S centre for a transparent, no-obligation quote.

How long does a quick oil and filter change take?

A standard oil and filter change typically takes 30 to 45 minutes at a Point S centre. The exact duration depends on your vehicle's make and model, the type of oil being used, and whether our technicians spot any additional work during the service.

Can Point S handle fuel filter and transmission oil changes?

Yes, Point S garages can handle both fuel filter replacement and transmission oil changes as part of their comprehensive service offering. If you need either of these services, mention it when booking your appointment so the team can prepare the correct grade of oil and parts for your specific vehicle. Fuel filters and transmission oil are typically serviced every 30,000 miles, though your car's manual may recommend different intervals.

What is an oil service and how does it differ from an interim or full service?

An oil service is a standalone oil and filter replacement — a cost-effective option if your car isn't yet due for a full or interim service but needs fresh oil to maintain fuel efficiency and performance. A full or interim service includes additional inspections, fluid checks, and component replacements.

How often should you change the oil in your car?

Most manufacturers recommend changing your oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. The exact interval depends on your driving conditions, oil type, and vehicle age — stop-start city driving or extreme temperatures can shorten it. Always check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's specific recommendation.

What happens if you don’t change your engine oil?

Over time, old engine oil degrades, loses its lubricating properties, and turns into a thick, black sludge. This restricts oil flow and increases friction between moving parts, causing your engine to overheat, run inefficiently, and ultimately suffer catastrophic internal component failure.
