Change your oil regularly for a smooth and safe ride

Oil Change

If you want to get better gas mileage and have your car run the way that it should, then keep up with your oil changes. They don't take much time, and if you take your car to us here at Shawnee Mission Ford, we'll handle all the work. If you take frequent but short trips (5 to 10 miles in length), drive at higher engine speeds, or drive in extremely hot or cold weather, then you'll probably need to get your oil changed more often.

It's a good idea to check your oil routinely to see how it looks. It should be clear and not black or sludgy. Also be sure to check your oil level and keep it topped up. If your oil is clean, your car will run better.

Come to us for all your oil change and maintenance needs and keep your car running smoothly all the time.

Is There an Indicator for a Failing Alternator?

If a vehicle is not starting like it should, it may be a sign that the alternator has gone bad. There are a few different ways that you can tell if this is the case. In newer vehicles, a light may appear on the dashboard when the alternator is having trouble getting power to the battery. In some cases, this light will be shaped like a battery. It may also simply show up as ALT or GEN on the dashboard. However, this light may only show up if the alternator is close to giving out. Therefore, drivers may need to look for signs such as dimming lights to figure out if the alternator should be looked at. It may be possible to have an alternator checked by visiting Shawnee Mission Ford. If there is an issue, it may be fixed right away by a service center technician.
