Having your oil changed on a regular basis is one of the most important things you can do to keep your car in proper running order. Literally speaking, there is no better way to keep your car in tip top performance and have it run for hundreds of thousands of kilometers than to keep your oil changed whenever it is recommended by the car manufacturer.

Using the highest quality oil is important to ensure that it protects your engine's internal components. Level Auto does just that. 

With every basic oil change, our technicians:

Formulated in a laboratory, man-made synthetic oil doesn't contain the naturally occurring chemicals that break down at high temperatures. It is also manufactured without many of the chemical compositions that contribute to oil oxidation and sludge buildup. Synthetic oil can tolerate temperatures that would burn up petroleum-based oils.

One of the reasons of poor brake performance is due to lack of maintenance of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture. When brake fluid is put threw high heat and then cools down the process builds moisture. The fluid absorbs the moisture and lowers the boiling point of the fluid, extending stopping distance and possibly causing sluggish brake response or brake failure during:

Our brake flush procedure consists of completely vacuuming the brake fluid reservoir, flushing every wheel and brake line on the vehicle, and replenishing with new, vehicle specified fluid. This process guarantees 100% brake fluid replacement and overall better braking.

If your clutch has been feeling a little "spongy," like it doesn't want to full engage or disengage, a cheap and easy way to remedy the problem can be to change the hydraulic clutch fluid. Since the fluid used in clutch systems is just common brake fluid, it will slowly absorb moisture from the air, and eventually function less efficiently.

The cooling system is very important in the summer months and twice as important in the winter. It provides cooling to the engine and provides heat in those freezing months.

An efficient cooling system, therefore, requires several things: an adequate supply of coolant, an efficient heat exchanger, a fan to pull air through the radiator at low speeds, a water pump to keep the coolant moving, and a thermostat to regulate the operating temperature of the engine for good performance, fuel economy, and emissions. The coolant must also have the right mix of water and antifreeze to provide adequate freezing and boiling protection, and the proper amount of corrosion inhibitors to protect against rust, oxidation and electrolysis.

To keep the cooling system in good operating condition, it is important to get our certified technician to check the level, strength, and condition of the coolant. If a coolant flush is prolonged, the protective additives can entirely deplete. According to the Canadian Department of Transportation, cooling system failure is the leading cause of mechanical breakdowns on the highway. Also, according to numerous aftermarket surveys that have been performed over the years, coolant neglect is one of the leading causes of cooling system breakdowns.

Differentials can be found on vehicles that are rear wheel drive, 4 wheel drive (4×4), and all wheel drive (AWD). The differential needs to ensure that the outside and inside wheels are allowed to turn at different speeds—hence the name—while still supplying power to both wheels. The basic differential housing contains a large ring gear that meshes with a small pinion gear driven by the driveshaft. Changing the differential fluid will keep your differential gears, ring and pinion and bearings to operate smoothly and eliminate wear on the gears and bearings that take the abuse of our daily driving.

So why do we need to clean injectors? Injectors become clogged with fuel residues (something similar to varnish) due to the evaporation of fuel in the injector nozzle when the engine has been stopped. Every time you stop a hot engine a small amount of residue adds to the already present build up. The more frequent the stops, the more rapidly the build-up accumulates.

This accumulation eventually reduces the flow of fuel through the injector and disrupts its spray pattern, causing the engine to run lean. This can manifest itself in a number of ways, although the most common is driveability problems such as flat spots and hesitations. Blocked injectors are not the only cause of drivability problems. An increasingly common problem with later vehicles is the build-up of organic material in the throttle body and intake manifold, and carbon on intake valves and ports - all of which can cause a range of problems

Our injector cleaning process provides overall fuel system detergency that rapidly cleans and effectively removes harmful deposits from fuel injector intake valves combustion chambers and the air induction system. Improves rust protection of the complete fuel system

Our signature three step process includes the following services:

This is a separate gearbox mounted behind the transmission. Power goes to the transfer case to be directed to the rear wheels only or to both front and rear. A separate driveshaft connects the transfer case to a differential in the front axle. Most transfer cases also offer two gear ratios, for a High and Low range. While many vehicles still have a manually engaged transfer case, several now offer electrically activated engagement. The transfer case does contain fluid that allow the gears within to function smoothly, and needs to be replaced regularly to ensure proper operation at all times.

it's the job of the transmission to parcel out the engine's power to the wheels, which means transmission fluid -- the magenta-colored lifeblood that coats gears and torque converters should be well maintained.

Numerous driving conditions -- stop-and-go driving, hauling a heavy load, driving long distances or up and down mountains -- can heat transmission fluid beyond acceptable limits. At these higher temperatures, ATF begins to break down, and your transmission begins to shift gears roughly, slowly or both.

We always use the specified fluid from the dealer because we believe that your vehicle demands the correct fluid. Before we release any vehicle, our trained technicians test the vehicle under normal operating temperatures and take the vehicle on road test.
