Regular oil changes are the single most important thing you can do to extend your engine's life. At Jeftec Auto Service in Sundre, every oil change is performed by a Certified Technician using premium NAPA-supplied oils and filters, and comes with a complimentary multi-point inspection of your belts, hoses, brakes, and suspension.
Whether you're commuting to Olds every day, towing an RV through Mountain View County, or putting your diesel truck to work on the ranch, we have the right lubricant for your engine and your driving conditions.

Conventional vs. Synthetic: Which Oil Is Right for You?
Your vehicle's owner manual is the gold standard, but here's the short version:
- Conventional oil — Best for older vehicles with simpler engines. Change every 5,000 km.
- Synthetic blend — Good balance of cost and performance. Change every 6,000–8,000 km.
- Full synthetic — Required by most modern vehicles and turbocharged engines. Change every 8,000–12,000 km.
- Diesel oil — Heavy-duty formulation required for diesel trucks and equipment.
