Oil Change Service

OIL CHANGE SERVICES: CHANGE YOUR OIL, NOT YOUR CAR

If you’re looking for an oil change near me, The Mufflerman makes it easy to book fast,
honest service at a location close to home or work across Southern Ontario.

Why Choose The Mufflerman for Oil Change Services?

The Mufflerman has served Southern Ontario since 1964. A lot has changed since then, including vehicles, engines, and oil technology, but our approach hasn’t.

  • Clear explanations in plain language
  • Quality oil and filters matched to your vehicle
  • No surprises—you’ll know what you’re paying for before work begins
  • Local convenience—multiple locations, easy to find and contact

If you’re due for maintenance and want a car oil change near me that’s quick, reliable, and done right, you’re in the right place.

How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Start with your owner’s manual. Recommended oil change intervals vary by make, model, engine type, and driving conditions. Newer vehicles may go longer between changes, while older engines (or high-mileage vehicles) often benefit from more frequent service. Your dashboard reminder light is also worth listening to, because it can reflect real driving conditions, not just kilometres.

If your driving includes lots of short trips, stop-and-go traffic, frequent idling, towing, or harsh seasonal conditions, your engine may need oil changes more often than the “ideal conditions” schedule.

What’s Included in an Oil Change?

An oil change should be more than “drain and fill.” When you bring your vehicle to The Mufflerman, your service typically includes:

  • Draining old engine oil and refilling with the correct oil type and viscosity
  • Installing a new oil filter
  • A quick check for obvious issues (like leaks or worn components)
  • Resetting the oil maintenance reminder (when applicable)

If we notice something that matters, such as an active leak or a filter housing issue, we’ll show you what we’re seeing and explain your options. No pressure.

Synthetic Oil vs Conventional Oil

Both conventional and synthetic oils can protect your engine, but synthetic oil typically performs better in temperature extremes and can offer stronger protection against deposits and breakdown over time.

In plain terms:

  • Conventional oil can be a cost-effective choice for many vehicles
  • Synthetic oil is often the better option for modern engines, harsh driving conditions, and longer-term engine protection

Not sure what your car needs? Our technicians can recommend the right option based on your vehicle, mileage, and how you drive, so you’re not paying extra for something you don’t need.

Signs It’s Time for an Oil Change

Regular oil changes are one of the simplest ways to extend engine life and keep your vehicle running smoothly. Fresh oil reduces friction, helps prevent deposits, and keeps internal components properly lubricated.

Oil Change FAQs

How long does an oil change take?

Many oil changes can be completed quickly, but timing depends on your vehicle and shop volume. Booking ahead is the best way to get an accurate timeline.

Do I need synthetic oil for my vehicle?

Not always. Many modern engines perform best with synthetic. We’ll confirm what your vehicle requires and explain the difference before proceeding.

Can you reset my oil change light?

Yes. On most vehicles, we can reset the maintenance reminder after service.

What oil does my car take?

We use the oil type and viscosity recommended for your vehicle based on manufacturer specs and your engine needs.

What happens if I go too long without changing my oil?

Old oil loses its ability to lubricate and protect, which can lead to sludge buildup, increased wear, overheating, and expensive engine damage over time.

Do you check for leaks during an oil change?

We’ll flag obvious leaks or concerns we can see during service and explain your options if anything needs attention.
