ADVANCED SYNTHETIC LUBRICATION TECHNOLOGY

Modern turbocharged, direct-injection (GDI), and hybrid internal combustion engines operate under extreme thermal pressures and tighter tolerances than ever before. Engine oil is the lifeblood that lubricates internal bearings, regulates variable valve timing (VVT), and prevents timing chain stretch.

At Centennial Tire & Auto Service in Hamilton, we exclusively use manufacturer-specified full synthetic motor oils and premium multi-layer oil filters. Servicing your vehicle at our licensed facility fully protects your manufacturer powertrain warranty while ensuring maximum fuel economy and friction protection.

FAQs

OIL CHANGE QUESTIONS

Will getting my oil changed here void my new car dealer warranty? +

No, absolutely not. Under Canadian competition and warranty laws, as long as your service is performed by licensed technicians using manufacturer-approved oil viscosity and filters, your factory warranty remains 100% intact.

How often should I change full synthetic oil in Hamilton? +

For severe Canadian driving conditions (freezing winter cold starts, stop-and-go city traffic, and humid summer heat), we recommend replacing full synthetic oil every 6,000 to 8,000 km (or 6 months) for optimal engine protection.
