Old oil ruins even new cars.

Skipping or putting off oil changes adds a lot of wear and tear to any engine. That's why changing your oil regularly with Havoline® is important to protect your engine. How frequently should the oil be changed? No less frequently than your car manufacturer's required interval for the type of driving than you do.

Havoline™ Motor Oil provides complete engine protection against:

  • Starting friction.
  • Heat stress.
  • Engine deposits.

If your drive belt stalls, so does your car.

Simply put, your car can't run without the serpentine drive belt. This belt snakes between the:

  • engine.
  • power steering unit.
  • water pump.
  • air conditioner.
  • alternator.

Your belt needs to be replaced if it shows signs of:
  • Greasy build-up.
  • Peeling or cracking.
  • Slickness or glazing.
  • Underside peeling.
  • A missing section on the underside.

Your radiator can do your car more harm than good.

If you don't change your anti-freeze regularly, your engine could crack during cold weather or overheat in hot weather.

A radiator flush-n-fill service from Texaco Xpress Lube will help protect your engine year-round.

We recommend changing standard anti-freeze every two years. Check your owner's manual for your car's anti-freeze change interval.

And ask about our Havoline® Extended Life Anti-Freeze, which offers 5-year/150,000-mile protection.

Your air filter could be choking your engine.

If your air filter is clogged with airborne insects, dust, dirt or sand, your engine is probably gasping for air.

It's a good idea to change your air filter at every other oil change, or as often as your owner's manual suggests. If you drive in heavy dust conditions, you may need to change your air filter more often.

Dirty air filters can cause the following problems:
  • Poor acceleration.
  • Poor overall engine performance.
  • A drop in gas mileage.

Here's what we'll do:
  • Keep oil and filter changes up to date.
  • Let you know what's required at each visit.
  • Perform scheduled fluid maintenance according to your owner's manual.
  • Provide you with computerized maintenance records.

Red lights can kill your car's performance.

Stop-and-go driving seriously stresses your car's engine and drive train. And if you live in the city, it's probably the kind of driving you do every day. If that's how you drive, changing your oil with Havoline® according to your manufacturer's requirement for "severe service conditions" is highly recommended.

The following type of driving are considered "severe service conditions" by most auto manufacturers:
  • Short trips with insufficient warm-up.
  • Extensive idling.
  • Cold weather driving.
  • Off-road driving.
  • Towing trailers.

If your differential is out of whack, you're off the road.

You may not know what a differential is, but it's important. The differential is a gearbox that allows your car's wheels to turn at different speeds, improving your vehicle's traction when cornering.

A properly serviced differential provides these benefits:
  • Greater handling and stability.
  • Better traction when cornering.
  • Reduced tire wear.
  • Extended differential life.
  • Check your owner's manual for your car's recommended differential fluid change interval.

If your transmission breaks down, you could go broke.

Not having your transmission fluid changed at the manufacturer's recommended intervals can cause the fluid to oxidize at high temperatures. The resulting sludge and varnish can cause these expensive problems:

  • Rough Shifting.
  • Slipping.
  • Eventual transmission failure.

Most manufacturers suggst checking the transmission fluid levels at every oil change, and having the fluid changed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles.

Be sure to follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended change intervals and fluid type requirements—it's a simple step that could save you time and money.
