An oil and filter change is the single most important bit of maintenance your engine needs. Oil lubricates, cools and cleans hundreds of moving parts, and it wears out over time. Old oil turns thick and gritty and stops protecting properly, which is how engines end up with expensive wear. Swapping the oil and the filter together keeps everything running clean. A mobile oil change is that exact same job, done at your home or work instead of a garage.

We change oil and filters on all makes and models, using the correct oil specification for your car and a quality or genuine filter. The old oil and filter leave with us and go for proper recycling, so nothing ends up down a drain. Based in Soham, we cover Ely, Newmarket, Cambridge and the villages in between. Send us your reg and we'll confirm the right oil and a price before we start.

Old oil drained, fresh oil in

We drain the engine fully, fit a new sump plug washer, and refill with the correct grade and quantity for your car, checked against your reg.

A new oil filter, every time

The oil filter traps the grit that wears an engine out. We replace it with the oil, never leave the old one on, and fit a quality or genuine part.

Correct-spec oil for your engine

The right viscosity and manufacturer approval for your car, whether that's a standard 5W-30 or a long-life fully-synthetic. We tell you what we're using and it goes on your invoice.

Used oil taken away and recycled

The old oil and filter leave with us and go for proper disposal and recycling. You're not left with a container of waste oil to deal with.

Is an oil change worth it on its own?

If your car isn't due a full service yet but the oil is old or high-mileage, a standalone oil and filter change is a cheap, sensible bit of upkeep. Here's what it actually does:

Protects the engine you paid for

Clean oil keeps the moving parts lubricated and cool. Old, broken-down oil is how engines pick up wear that costs thousands to put right.

Cheaper than a full service

If everything else was checked recently, you don't need to pay for a full service just to refresh the oil. An oil and filter change covers the essential bit on its own.

Keeps a warranty on track

Cars on long-life servicing still have an oil-change interval. Missing it can count against a warranty claim. We record what we did so your history stays clean.

Helps fuel economy and smoothness

Fresh oil flows better, so the engine runs a little smoother and works a little less hard. It won't perform miracles, but old oil genuinely holds a car back.

Signs your oil needs changing

Not sure if it's due? These are the common tells. If any of them ring true, send us your reg and we'll confirm the interval for your car.

An oil or service light on the dash

Many cars track the oil life and flag when it's due. If the light is on, the car is telling you the oil needs doing.

The oil looks dark and gritty on the dipstick

Fresh oil is amber and smooth. Old oil goes dark brown or black and feels gritty between your fingers. That's a clear sign it's spent.

The oil level is low

A low level means the engine is running on less oil than it should, which speeds up wear. Top up to get home, then get it changed and the level checked.

You have passed the mileage or time interval

Most cars want an oil change every 10,000 to 12,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. If you're past either, it's due.

The engine sounds a little rougher

As oil breaks down it protects less, so an engine can get slightly noisier or feel less smooth. Fresh oil often quietens it back down.

You do lots of short, stop-start trips

Short journeys and cold starts are hard on oil and it degrades faster. Town and school-run drivers often need changes sooner than the mileage suggests.

When is an oil change due?

If any of these sound familiar, it's worth booking in. Not sure? Ask us and you'll get a straight answer.

  • It's been 12 months since the last change
  • You've covered your mileage interval (often 10,000 to 12,000 miles)
  • An oil or service reminder is showing on the dash
  • The oil on the dipstick looks dark, thick or gritty
  • You mostly do short, stop-start town trips
  • You're about to tow or do a long motorway run
