Oil Changes In Exeter, ON

OIL CHANGE & ENGINE OIL LIFE SYSTEM

Your engine is the heart of your vehicle, and oil is its lifeblood. Your Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac Certified Service technicians are trained to understand how your vehicle uses oil and how it monitors oil life. An oil change from your Certified Service experts At HMP not only gives you great service, convenience, and a great price, you also receive the added value of knowing that nobody knows your vehicle better.

Make Sure To Check Your Oil Level

It is important to check your oil level every once in awhile. Consult your Owner’s Manual for the proper procedure to check your oil level.

Select The Correct Oil For Your Vehicle

From conventional to full synthetic, your Certified Service experts can offer you helpful advice on a range of oil types, including ACDelco Conventional Oil and ACDelco dexos1™ Gen 2 Full Synthetic. Huron Motor Products Certified Service experts will always know the right grade of oil to use for your specific vehicle.

ACDelco Conventional Oil

ACDelco Motor Oil only meets pre-2011 GM standards.

ACDelco dexos1 Gen 2 Full Synthetic

Dexos1 Gen 2 full synthetic oil is specifically engineered for Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles.

Engine Oil Life Monitoring System

GM vehicles are equipped with an engine Oil Life Monitoring System. This system interprets your vehicle’s speed, engine temperature, personal driving habits, and continuously monitors operating conditions — which helps determine when it’s the appropriate time for an oil change.

Your Certified Service technician will reset your Oil Life Monitoring System after every oil change. To reset the system yourself, ask one of our technicians how or consult your Owner’s Manual.

OIL CHANGE WARNING SIGNS

Not paying attention to your oil life can be potentially dangerous, resulting in costly consequences. Below, you will find a number of indicators that will help you prevent damage to your engine.

Oil Life Monitoring System Prompt

When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message displays, service is required for your vehicle as soon as possible. In some cases, the Oil Life Monitoring System might not indicate the need for vehicle service for up to a year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and the Oil Life Monitoring System must be reset.

If your vehicle is not equipped with an Oil Life Monitoring System, consult your Service and Maintenance Schedule located in your vehicle Owner's Manual.

Tailpipe Smoke

Heavy smoke from your tailpipe, perhaps with a blue tinge, is a strong indicator that oil is being burned within your engine. This can be caused by a number of factors. If you are experiencing any unusual tailpipe emissions, see your Certified Service experts right away.

Oil Leaks

One of the most immediate signs of an issue with your oil is a noticeable leak. If you detect a leak, address it with your Certified Service expert as soon as possible. Catching a problem early can save you time and money and prevent a potential roadside emergency.

Oil Pressure Low/Oil Level Low

Low engine oil pressure or low oil level can cause extreme and costly damage to your engine. If this message displays, safely bring your vehicle to a stop as soon as is practicable. Check the oil level immediately or contact Roadside Assistance to get you on your way or to bring your vehicle to a Certified Service dealer.

Under-Hood Smoke

One of the most recognizable and dangerous oil warning signs is visible smoke coming from your engine. Oil leaking within the engine compartment burns when it drips onto hot engine parts and can be potentially hazardous. Leaks of this type should be addressed immediately by roadside assistance.

Battery Warning Signs

Identifying the warning signs and getting your battery checked could save you from a more costly repair down the road. The service experts at your dealership test your battery’s health with leading-edge diagnostic equipment.
If your battery is more than 5 years old, or if you’re experiencing one of the warning signs listed below, bring your vehicle in for service...
  • You hear clicking or buzzing when you turn the ignition
  • Your vehicle has trouble or is slow starting
  • The eye (if equipped) on your battery is dark or clear
 
Common causes for battery failure include:
  • Loss of electrolyte due to age, under hood heat or overcharging
  • Leaving your lights on
  • Undercharging or loose alternator belt
  • Excessive vibration (loose hold-down or mounting)
  • Using tap water for electrolyte
  • Corrosion
  • Freezing

Battery Dos

  • Keep your battery and case clean. Dirt and other deposits can prematurely corrode battery terminals.
    Check the cables to make sure they are firmly attached to the auto battery terminal.
  • Always disconnect your battery’s negative cable first and reattach it last.
  • Charge in a well-ventilated area. The process of charging a battery releases highly flammable hydrogen.
  • Handle batteries carefully. A cracked case could spill harmful chemicals and cause severe burns and/or blindness.
  • Dispose of a battery in accordance with provincial, territorial, and/or local regulations.

Battery Don’ts

  • Wear jewelry when working with a battery.
  • Lean over a battery.
  • Guess as to what type/size of battery your vehicle needs.
  • Attempt to charge a frozen battery; doing so may cause the battery to explode.
  • Disconnect a battery’s cables while your vehicle is running.
Wiper Blades In Exeter, ON
 

As a part of your regular maintenance routine, you, or your Huron Motor Products Certified Service expert should make a thorough inspection of your vehicle’s wiper blades. Your Certified Service expert can check your windshield wipers and rear wiper blades as part of the Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection.

Should you need new wipers, your Certified Service experts can recommend a variety of wiper blades to suit your needs.

Conventional Wiper Blades

Advantage All-Season metal wiper blades are good replacement standard blades for value-conscious occasional drivers. Coating on the rubber helps reduce streaking, friction and noise and pre-installed universal adapters fit most wiper arms directly making installation easy.

Performance wiper blades offer high-strength steel construction with easy fit assembly. They possess corrosion-resistant epoxy coatings and the blade material is made from a natural rubber, which helps reduce streaking, friction and noise.

Beam Wiper Blades

Beam wiper blades offer an innovative curved frameless design that helps conform to the shape of your windshield and to provide constant pressure for a uniform wipe. A natural and synthetic blended rubber compound on the wiper material enhances wiping performance and durability in all weather conditions and the aerodynamic design helps reduce wind lift.

Winter Wiper Blades

Winter Wiper Blades are available in either a Conventional style or Beam Blade Style.
The Winter Beam Wiper Blade is a specialty blade and includes rubber boots to help prevent snow and ice build-up and a riveted steel superstructure for strength and durability.

If you haven’t replaced your wiper blades in the past six months, visit Huron Motor Products and speak with one of our Certified Service experts. They can walk you through your choices and install the right set for your vehicle.

If your wiper blades are worn, you may notice that they:
  • Leave streaks or miss sections of your windshield
  • Leave a haze behind, blurring vision
  • Skip across the windshield caused by a curve in the rubber
  • Lift off due to deterioration in the wiper arm
  • Squeak because of worn blade edges caused by excessive friction
  • Cause windshield scoring in extreme cases, where the wiper has deteriorated
