September 24, 2012 Oil changes are probably the most common automotive services - performed so frequently that consumers may often pass up the opportunity to get more for their service dollar. With auto-makers trying to gain increased efficiency, the "ordinary" oil change is become more comprehensive. Not only are companies recommending synthetic oil, but many auto -makers are developing their own oil specifications. "The best way for consumers to ensure that they're getting optimal protection and using a product that meets factory specs is to ask a few questions to their service provider," says Jay Buckley, an ASE-certified master mechanic and technical training manager at Fram Group. Doing your homework by reading the owner's manual is always a plus, he notes, but simply knowing what to ask will go a long way. Here are Buckley's recommendations: Ask what is included in the service. Many dealers and service stations bundle several different inspections in with the oil change. It's a great time for a mechanic to inspect brakes, hoses and under-car components to help stop a small problem from becoming a big and expensive one. In most cases, these additional inspections are a bargain.
Ask if the right specification of motor oil is being used.
Oil-change facilities like to use "bulk oil," which as the name implies, is a single viscosity grade and specification of oil bought in bulk from a supplier. It will often suffice for many motor vehicles, but certainly not all. If your car or SUV requires a specialized formula of motor oil, such as a high-efficiency 0W-20 synthetic, or a manufacturer's specification, such as GM dexos, this "standard" oil may cause problems and potential invalidate the new-car warranty.
Ask if a premium oil filter will be installed.
Often overlooked during an oil change is the quality of the oil filter. A premium filter, such as Fram UltraTM, can trap more damaging dirt from circulating through your engine. In standardized tests, this filter had double the dirt-holding capacity of the leading economy filter brands average. the ability to trap and hold harmful particles for as much as 24,000 km or 14,400 miles becomes much more important as auto-makers extend service intervals, often to just once a year.
How your mechanic handles these questions can help you determine if "YOU" trust his or her work. Not only that, but you'll become an informed consumer, more knowledgeable about protecting your automotive investment.

We want to share and explain the new increase that will take effect on October 1, 2012 with the Environmental Handling Charges (EHC's). These adjustments reflect changes to the method for determining amounts payable each quarter by Petro-Canada and other 'Stewards" of Containers and Antifreeze, to Stewardship Ontario("SO") under provincial legislation. SO manages the provinces Municipal Hazardous or special Waste (MHSW") program, which promotes the environmentally-responsible management of designated waste materials, including used Containers and Antifreeze.
Due to recent changes to provincial legislation, the amounts payable by Stewards in connection with certain designated materials, including Containers and Antifreeze, are no longer calculated on a fixed fee per unit basis. Instead, Stewards now pay their proportion share of SO's actual costs to manage a particular category of used material.
Effective October 1, 2012 these changes will be in effect:
-Applicable containers of lubricating, and other oils with a capacity of 30 litres or less (Containers)
EHC increase from $0.09 to $0.14 per litre of capacity
-Radiator antifreeze in containers with a capacity of 30 litres or less ("Antifreeze")
EHC increase from $0.09 to $0.24 per litre of capacity.
As a small business owner we are now forced to pass this hidden taxes to our customers, not exactly what we had in mind to create new business, a price increase due to another Ontario hidden tax. All we can do is educate our customer, so they can understand that this is not a price increase from us, but a tax increase due to the cost of whatever. Just with all that is going on, with gas prices, slow economy exactly what Ontario needed to stimulate the economy. The Ontario government at work for all us Ontarians.
