Why Use Synthetic Blend Oil?

76 Super Synthetic Blend Motor Oil is a premium quality, part synthetic, API SM motor oil designed for use in passenger cars, vans, sports utility vehicles and light trucks under all operating conditions. It is formulated to provide excellent wear protection, to minimize engine sludge and varnish deposits, and to resist viscosity and high temperature thermal breakdown even in severe service. It also protects against rust, bearing corrosion and foaming. The part-synthetic formula provides an extra margin of protection at both low and high temperatures compared with conventional all-mineral motor oils.

76 Super Synthetic Blend Motor Oil is "energy conserving" for improved fuel economy, and exceeds new car warranty requirements as defined by ILSAC GF-4. In addition, it is specifically formulated to help protect and extend the service life of vehicle emissions control systems.

SERVICE APPOINTMENTS

Appointments are recommended for oil changes, if you desire to wait, to ensure that your vehicle is returned in a timely manner and allows us to perform the courtesy check on your vehicle.

COURTESY CHECK

We perform visual inspections on your vehicle while it is in for maintenance or repairs. This lets our customers know the overall condition of their vehicles and allows them to make an informed decision on how/if to repair their vehicles. There are times when we recommend not repairing a vehicle because the repair costs may exceed the value of the car.

MILEAGE INTERVAL SERVICES

We perform mileage interval inspections on your vehicle using your owners’ manual and/or Mitchell online service guides. After checking the vehicle per your manual, we will prioritize the items we identify during the inspection.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SERVICES

The following services are recommended at the listed times or mileages. These recommendations are intended as preventative maintenance to extend the life of your car or light truck and help prevent unexpected breakdowns. They are based solely on time or mileage and not on visual or measurements unless specified.

BG POWER STEERING FLUSH

When: Every 2 Years or 24,000 miles.
Why: Oxidation by-products, hose material and metallic debris accumulate in the fluid. As contaminated fluid is pumped through the system under very high pressure, it causes abrasive wear in the pump and the rack assembly, leading to premature wear, pump noise, and erratic steering.

BG TRANSMISSION FLUSH

When: Every 2 years or 24,000 miles.
Why: Oxidized fluid and oxidation residues can cause blockage of oil lines or filter screens. Deposits can also cause malfunction of delicate shift control mechanisms or even complete transmission failure.

BG INDUCTION/INJECTION SYSTEM FLUSH

When: Every 2 years or 30,000 miles.
Why: Deposits that build up in the fuel induction system may cause drivability problems such as hesitation, surge, stalling, hard starting, rough idle and loss of power. Deposits that build up in the air induction system may cause rough idle, excessive exhaust emissions, loss of performance and loss of gas mileage.

BG COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSH

When: Flush yearly
Why: When coolant is depleted of buffering ingredients it becomes extremely corrosive, literally eating holes in coolant system components, as well as clogging passageways in the radiator, which may overheat the engine and cause damage beyond repair.

BRAKE SYSTEM

When: 2 Years or 24,000 miles
Why: Flushing the brake system helps to remove deposits, debris and other contaminates that travel in the brake system and tends to fall to the lowest point in the system. This helps prolong the life of calipers, wheel cylinders and the brake master cylinder.

ALIGNMENT

When: Should be checked for alignment every year, should be aligned minimum every 30,000 miles.
Why: Everyday road shock and general wear and tear can knock your alignment out of specifications. When that happens, control of the vehicle may be threatened and the tires may begin to wear unevenly and rapidly. Note: If your vehicle hits a severe bump or curb alignment should be checked
