Why engine oil matters
Engine oil supports lubrication and helps manage heat and contamination as it circulates through the engine.
Routine oil and filter maintenance helps support engine lubrication and contaminant control, with the correct schedule and specification determined by the vehicle.

The oil filter helps capture contaminants from the oil. The correct replacement part and oil specification depend on the vehicle.
Oil change timing varies by manufacturer, engine, usage and service plan. AOT should be given the registration and relevant service information so the appropriate maintenance route can be discussed.
If a warning light, unusual engine noise, smell or performance concern is present, tell the garage. Those symptoms can have several causes and may need inspection beyond routine oil maintenance.
Do not ignore a serious warning light or potentially unsafe vehicle behaviour. Seek appropriate professional inspection.
Oil condition changes over time and use. Follow the vehicle manufacturer schedule and use the correct specification for the vehicle.
The correct oil specification depends on the vehicle and engine. Provide the registration so the appropriate information can be checked.
No. An oil and filter change is a specific maintenance task; a full service is a broader servicing route.
Use the quote page or contact AOT with your vehicle details to discuss the required maintenance.
A warning light can require investigation. Do not assume a routine oil change alone will resolve the cause.
