Lubrication Service
What's included in our Engine Oil and Filter Service
Our Engine Oil & Filter Service involves draining the existing oil from your engine and replacing it with new oil as per your vehicle manufacturers recommendation. The service also includes the replacement of your oil filter to keep your new oil grime free.
Oil and oil filters form an important part of your engine. Oil is used for the lubrication of your internal combustion engine minimising friction and wear on each of the moving parts. Your oil filter keeps your oil free from contaminants therefore minimising the risk of damaging vital engine components.
How often should you change your engine oil?
Manufacturers and car experts recommend that your oil is changed every 12 months, or a little less for higher mileage vehicles.
Oil lubricates your engine preventing friction and protecting the mechanical components within it. Over time engine oil gradually loses this ability to lubricate effectively and low, thin or old oil causes the internal components to wear much faster. To prevent this, it’s very important that your car has a regular oil service.
We can also arrange MOT's and complete pre MOT checks and all remedial work

Parts we use
Knowing which part to use can be confusing for a driver, which is why we wanted to make it clear what our policy on parts is! If you need a new brake pad or clutch, we will explain exactly what you need and how much the part will cost to order.
RDC Auto Care will only use OEM quality parts when carrying out a repair. We order parts from MAN, Valeo and IUK which are the best brands in the world. The parts we install will also come with a minimum 12 month warranty, as will the labour undertaken to fit the part.
You might not know this but the likes of Ford, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and the rest of the big car manufacturers, actually buy parts off specialist parts manufacturers and then sell them on to consumers at a higher price!
This is why getting your car fixed at a dealership is so expensive! When we install a new part, it is highly likely to be exactly the same as the one a dealership would put into your car, the only difference is that we won't charge you extortionate fees! If you would like to understand which parts are being used during a repair, simply ask, and he will explain everything clearly.
