Does Valvoline check tire tread?

You should check the oil every few hundred miles, or every other time you fill your gas tank. Consult your owner’s manual for the position of the oil dipstick and engine oil filler opening. The best time to check the oil is when your engine is warm and on level ground. Turn off the vehicle and wait a few minutes. Then pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean with a rag, and reinsert it. Push it all the way in. Pull out the dipstick, again. It will have either two notches or an indent to show the oil level. It’s best to keep the oil level at or near the top mark. If the oil is between the two marks, you may add oil. Below the bottom mark, add oil. At or above the top mark, do not add oil. Too much oil in your engine can actually cause problems. If you’re low, add oil a little at a time (no more than half a quart to a quart), then re-check. Replace the dipstick before you close the hood. It’s a good idea to keep at least one quart of oil in your garage and one in your trunk. The oil specifications for your make and model are in your owner’s manual. Or, stop by one of our stores. We would be happy to check your oil and top it off for free.

Tire rotations help your tires last longer by reducing uneven wear. Driving style, wheel alignment, miles driven and tire location on the vehicle are all factors in how your tires will wear. By rotating the tires as recommended by the vehicle manufacturers, tires wear more evenly, which extends the life of the tires and ultimately saves you time and money. Tires can be balanced using a computer to keep weight dispersed evenly on the wheel trim.

TIRE ROTATION SERVICE INCLUDES:

• Tires are inspected for visible damage or abnormal tread-wear patterns

• Tire pressure is checked and filled to proper inflation

• Tires are rotated according to manufacturer guidelines (front-rear or X-pattern)
• Lug nuts are inspected for abnormal wear or thread damage
