In the Topeka area, you can always count on A.J.’s Import Garage and their mechanics to change your oil and, perhaps more importantly, check for other potential problems on your same visit.

Oil Changes…So Simple and So Important.

Why should we care whether our vehicle (especially our German car) has regular oil changes?  People who own European cars often ask, “How often do I need to change the oil in my four-wheeled baby?”  Some, actually assume that once a year is adequate!  Well, the amount and type of driving that you do has a great bearing on that.

Some German automobile manufacturers make claims that their newer models do not require oil changes until 7,500 - 13,000 miles, we are not sure that is realistic.  Do you want to risk diminishing the lifespan of your vehicle?  Ten thousand plus miles without an oil change is likely a horrible way to treat your BMW, Mini Cooper, Mercedes, Audi, or Volkswagen.
