Oil change in Fort Collins

A proper oil and filter change — done to your manufacturer's spec, with a free multi-point look-over so we catch the small stuff before it gets expensive.

What's included

More than just new oil

Every oil service at Poudre Auto Repair includes a quick once-over by a technician — because the lift is already up, and a five-minute look can save you a breakdown.

  • Oil & filter — the right grade and filter for your vehicle, to manufacturer spec
  • Fluid top-off — washer, coolant, power steering and brake fluid checked and topped
  • Multi-point look-over — belts, hoses, battery, and obvious wear items
  • Tire & brake check — tread depth, pressure, and a glance at the brakes
  • Honest report — what needs attention now, what can wait, and what's fine

Why it matters

The cheapest repair you'll ever make

Clean oil is what keeps your engine alive. Skip it too long and the oil breaks down, sludge builds up, and parts that should last 200,000 miles start wearing out at 120,000. An oil change is the single best thing you can do for your vehicle's lifespan — and it's a fraction of the cost of the repairs it prevents.

We keep it simple: bring it in on schedule, and we'll keep your engine clean, flag anything that needs watching, and never push service you don't need.

Oil services FAQ

How often should I get an oil change?
It depends on your vehicle and the oil it uses — typically every 5,000-7,500 miles for synthetic, sooner for conventional or heavy towing and fleet use. We'll set the right interval for how you actually drive.
Do I need an appointment?
Call ahead and we'll tell you the best time to come in. We keep it quick and won't hold your vehicle longer than we need to.
Do you service diesel and fleet vehicles?
Yes. Diesel oil services and fleet oil programs are a core part of what we do — including Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit, and Mercedes Sprinter work vans.
Will you try to upsell me?
No. We'll tell you what your vehicle needs, what can wait, and what's perfectly fine. Straight talk is the whole point.
