Mobile oil change
Today’s vehicles are more efficient than earlier models. They run longer between oil changes
– often 5,000 to as many as 10,000 miles – and may require either synthetic or
semi-synthetic oil. Different vehicles need different grades and types of oil. The most common are 5w20
and 5w30. The precise quantity also varies by vehicle, ranging from four quarts for most four-cylinder
engines to as much as 12 quarts for high-performance V8s. Our mobile service technicians can advise you
on the correct oil for your vehicle.
Customers often have concerns about their car’s oil. For instance, why is my car leaking oil? The
cause is probably a failed gasket or seal, something that can be diagnosed by a mobile service
technician and addressed at our Service Center.
Some engines, typically older ones, normally burn some oil as well. More than a little burning could
point to a damaged valve seal, cylinder or piston ring, which can be handled at our Service Center.
Never let your car run out of oil. It’s very bad for your vehicle and can damage rods, bearings and
other parts of your engine.
Our mobile oil services include:
Synthetic oil change
Semi-synthetic oil change
Oil filter replacement
Mobile battery replacement & charging
Car batteries here in hot, humid Alabama typically last two to three years. They don’t need to be
replaced at set intervals, but drivers should pay attention if the vehicle shows signs of being slow to
crank.
A typical car battery has a capacity of 12.6 volts and amperage capacity between 300cca and 760cca. Most
car batteries weigh between 10 and 30 pounds and cost about $130 excluding installation.
Batteries can be recharged. Using a dedicated automotive battery charger, the process takes from 30
minutes to an hour.
Signs that your car battery is going bad include electrical features not functioning correctly or the
engine cranking very slowly or not at all. A load-testing device can accurately test the battery’s
charge. Contact our mobile service to have your battery tested and, if necessary, a new one installed.
Our mobile battery services include:
Battery testing
New battery installation
Battery charging
Mobile tire inspection & maintenance
The type of tires you need depends on the make and model of your vehicle. Depending on driving
conditions, tires can last between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. They don’t need to be replaced at
specified times or distances but rather when they are damaged or showing low tread thickness of 3/32 of
an inch (2.4 millimeters) or less.
Vehicles commonly come with a temporary spare (known as a donut) that will get you to a service center if
you have a blowout. Most tire retailers, including the Mullinax Service Center, sell replacements.
