QUICK LUBE SERVICES
Ron Jon's Automotive is dedicated to providing customers with quality services. From the moment you enter our Quick Lube service center, we strive to deliver exceptional auto maintenance services. Our goal is to make sure our customers are completely satisfied with their Quick Lube experience. Here is a brief list of services Ron Jon's Automotive can provide:
Transmission Service
We change the filter, remove the transmission filter pan, clean the sediment from the pan, and replace the transmission fluid filter. The pan is reinstalled with a new gasket, and the transmission is refilled to the full level on the dipstick. This service replaces the filter and allows us to clean the debris from the pan, but it doesn't replace the fluid in the torque converter and only replaces three to five quarts of fluid on most vehicles.
Oil Changes
Full service oil change up to 5 quarts of oil. We check and top off all the fluid levels, check air pressure in the tires, vacuum the interior, and wash the outside of the windows.
Motor Oil Basics
In order for your car's engine to do its job properly, it is vital to have clean, fresh oil.
The oil used in your car has two primary ingredients: base oil and additives. The base oil allows the motor oil to perform its vital function - lubricating the engine's moving parts to protect them against wear and tear caused by friction. The additives provide additional engine protection by helping to prevent the oil from deteriorating under the engine's extreme temperature conditions.
The base oil is refined from crude (oil in its natural state when pumped from the ground). The crude must undergo a variety of refining processes before yielding base stock suitable for use in engine oil. Undesirable components such as wax, sulphur and nitrogen compounds must be removed. Unsaturated hydrocarbons must be extracted or converted into more stable molecules.
Crude is first separated by vacuum distillation into a series of fractions or viscosity ranges. The fractions intended for base oil production are processed further using various combinations of refining processes.
