Not sure where to schedule an oil change for your Chevrolet vehicle? A quick search for “oil change near me” will lead you to our Chevrolet service center in Iowa. Learn all about the importance of regular oil changes for your Chevrolet Equinox and where to get them at Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC of Ottumwa.

Why Oil Changes are Essential

Regular oil changes are an essential part of maintaining your vehicle’s overall engine health and performance. Your engine depends on a fresh supply of oil to perform well, but over time, oil begins to accumulate grime and other build up.   

In turn, this can decrease your vehicle’s ability to maintain a proper temperature and stay lubricated. Replacing your oil on a regular basis is a surefire way to keep your vehicle running like new for a long time.  

Scheduling Oil Changes

Every vehicle has a different time frame for oil changes, considering different engine types, driving habits, and fuel consumption.

Common practice is to change the oil in your vehicle every 5,000 to 7,000 miles if you’re a frequent driver. If you’re not, then changing your oil every six months or so is a good rule of thumb.

To find out the specific oil change schedule for your vehicle, talk to our service experts near Ottumwa, IA. Our auto technicians will not only change your oil, but we’ll also help you schedule regular maintenance for your vehicle.

In recent years, more and more new Chevrolet cars have added Wi-Fi hotspots as either a standard or an optional feature. This is part of a larger trend to include all the latest in-cabin technology and connectivity features. There are more than a few Chevy cars with Wi-Fi, and here at Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC of Ottumwa, our dealers are happy to show them off.   

How In-Car Wi-Fi Works

Before talking about new Chevy cars that have Wi-Fi, it is important to understand how in-car Wi-Fi works, because it is such a new function. Chevrolet OnStar® with 4G LTE and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot provides an internet connection that is fast, reliable, and more powerful than a smartphone or mobile hotspot. With it, you can connect up to seven mobile devices at the same time so that your passengers can browse, post, game, and stream at 4G LTE speeds.

Wi-Fi uses the vehicle’s built-in antenna to provide a reliable signal up to 50 feet away from the vehicle. Because it is powered by your battery, the signal is always on when your car is on accessory modes.

There are a large amount of Chevy cars, trucks, and SUVs that have Wi-Fi. Here are some of our favorites:

• 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500: This heavy-duty pickup truck has an available built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that allows you to stream movies, download games, and surf the web.

Here at Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC of Ottumwa, our goal as a dealership is to serve Ottumwa, IA drivers with a wide selection of reliable, fun-to-drive, and safe vehicles. In addition to providing drivers with the newest models from Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC, we also feature a wide selection of budget-friendly used cars. No matter what type of vehicle you’re shopping for, there’s a high probability that we will have it on our lot.

Used Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC Cars

The primary reason people choose to buy a used car rather than a new one is price. When you buy a new car, it can lose up to 20 percent of its value the moment you drive it off our lot. This cruel phenomenon is known as depreciation, and the worst depreciation occurs in the first few years of ownership. In fact, some cars lose up to half of their value in the first three or four years. By purchasing a used Chevy car that is only a few years old, you can get something reliable and low-mileage. And you’ll still have access to some of the same features that you would find on a new model. All this for just a fraction of the price.

Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

If you’re looking for the highest-quality, lowest-mileage pre-owned Chevy vehicles, shop our Certified Pre-Owned Chevy inventory. Vehicles in this class are required to pass a rigorous 172-point inspection. CPO vehicles include bonuses such as roadside assistance, a Powertrain Limited Warranty, a Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty, courtesy transportation, a SiriusXM All-Access Package Trial, and a free Vehicle History Report.

To shop our pre-owned car selection, head into Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC today.
