Our team specializes in the Volvo lineup, which includes several hybrid models, making us well-suited for tackling your hybrid vehicle's service needs.
When to Get an Oil Change
Hybrid models need oil changes, just like any other gas-powered vehicle. Most vehicles need an oil change every 5,000 miles or so to keep everything running smoothly. Why are regular oil changes necessary? Oil keeps your engine lubricated, but it breaks down over time. Changing your oil regularly keeps your engine parts clean and reduces wear and tear, allowing your engine to last longer and perform better.
So, if you're looking to get the most out of the engine that powers your hybrid vehicle, keeping up with oil changes is one of the best things you can do to get more out of your vehicle.
When to Get a Tire Rotation
We often recommend that drivers get tire rotations and oil changes at the same time here at our Volvo service center near St. Paul and Minnetonka. Rotating your tires every six months or so helps them wear out evenly, which helps them last longer. It also improves efficiency and handling, so there is a lot to gain from staying on top of tire rotations.
The process of rotating your tires involves removing the tires from your vehicle and putting them back on in different positions, such as swapping the front tires and rear tires. This promotes even tire wear by changing the pressure points caused by factors like steering and weight distribution.
