More Than Just an Oil Change: Specialized European Service
An oil change at European Auto Care isn’t just routine—it’s comprehensive, precision care tailored to your vehicle.
What’s Included:
- Manufacturer-approved synthetic oil (ACEA-rated, not generic API oil)
- OEM-quality oil filter
- Vital fluid checks and top-offs
- Multi-point health inspection (belts, brakes, tires, etc.)
- Service reminder reset
- Typical oil change time: 60–90 minutes
The Right Oil Matters—A Lot
European engines run hotter, harder, and more efficiently—but only if they’re using the correct oil. ACEA standards (used in Europe) are stricter than standard U.S. API oils. Using the wrong oil can lead to reduced performance, higher wear, and even engine damage.
We only use the oil specifically approved for your model. It’s one of the many ways we protect your performance—and your warranty.
Scheduled Maintenance: Protect Performance & Warranty
Following your car’s factory maintenance schedule is the best way to preserve performance, safety, and value. Here’s why it matters:
Why You Need Scheduled Maintenance:
- Boosts reliability & fuel efficiency
- Extends engine & transmission life
- Maintains brakes, tires, and safety systems
- Improves resale value
- Keeps your factory warranty valid
