Expert Oil Change in Joliet, IL from AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair

Should I get synthetic or conventional oil?

Synthetic oil generally offers better protection and lasts longer between changes, while conventional oil costs less up front and can be fine for older or lower-mileage vehicles. The best choice depends on your engine, your driving, and what your manufacturer recommends. Our expert team at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair will help you pick the oil that gives your car the best protection for the money.

Why does my car use so much oil between changes?

Using noticeably more oil between changes usually points to either a leak or the engine burning oil internally, both of which are worth checking. Worn seals, gaskets, or piston rings are common causes, and older or higher-mileage engines tend to consume more. Bring your vehicle to AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair in Joliet and we'll find out why your oil is disappearing before it puts your engine at risk.

How much does an oil change typically cost?

It depends on your vehicle and the type of oil it takes, since full synthetic costs more than conventional but often needs changing less often, which can even out over time. Some vehicles also require larger oil capacities or specialty filters that affect the price. Our trustworthy team at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair will always give you the exact price for your vehicle's oil change in Joliet.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Auto Tips and Videos: Alignment Inspection

January 1, 2016

Uneven tire wear, the auto pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Joliet motorists that their wheels may be out of alignment. When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor will check your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He’ll also compare your current alignment with the auto manufacturer’s settings. Your vehicle owner’s manual will have a recommendation for when to check alignment. Of course, this recommendation is based on normal driving. If you have been in collision, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Joliet, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE service specialist carry out a critical alignment check.

Professional Auto Maintenance at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

December 24, 2015

When properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Joliet motorists often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like a major collision, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object. While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. Your automobile can lose alignment over time with just normal driving. When your wheels are out of alignment, the team of automotive professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet can return your wheels to the factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest a diagnostic examination every year or two.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Car Care Advice for Joliet Motorists: A Broken or Damaged Timing Belt

December 24, 2015

The timing belt rotates the cam shafts which open and close the valves that allow air, fuel, and exhaust to flow through the engine as it powers your auto. An old timing belt can lose a “tooth” in the belt allowing it to slip. The engine could stop or misfire. Timing belt slip – or a broken timing belt – can be disastrous on some engines. In “interference” engines, open valves can get in the way of the piston when the timing belt breaks or slips. When that happens one or more valves can be bent requiring pricey engine repairs. It is critical for Joliet auto owners to replace their timing belts as recommended in their owner’s manual to avoid unnecessary breakdowns. Ask the team of professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet if it’s time for your timing belt to be replaced.
