Fairbanks Oil Changes & Oil Filter Replacements

Your vehicle counts on new oil and oil filters to keep it operating efficiently. Oil should be kept full, clean from particles and not burnt. Oil lubes crucial engine parts. Moving components create rubbing, and over time that heat wears the parts down. Oil or a synthetic lubricating substance can minimize the damage from the rubbing by those moving components.
