Engine oil is a crucial element of your car. Engine oil is the driving force of your vehicle. It keeps the engine cool and lubricates components so they won’t grind against each other. The engine oil aids the engine in numerous ways. It helps protect the engine by keeping it clean from dirt, which defends the engine’s operation. Oil reduces wear and friction, which can also improve the performance of the fuel. Lastly, it lowers the heat inside the engine and redistributes it to other parts of the engine. If you are concerned about the status of your engine oil, contact our service technicians for an inspection.

Consistently testing the engine oil level can help keep the driver upkeep proper oil levels and help safekeep oil health. To start testing, it is better to check the oil when the engine is cooled to avoid touching hot engine parts. Many dipsticks have guidelines to show if the oil level is too low and needs to be topped off. Also when using the dipstick, you can look at the oil texture. If the oil is smooth and a lighter color, it’s okay. However, if the oil looks sludgy and dark, then it’s best to change it.
It’s possible that you may have a leak if your dipstick consistently displays low oil levels. There are multiple ways to check for an oil leak, which is integral because a leak could bring harm to the car’s engine. If there are dark puddles under your car, this could be a result of its oil pan slowly leaking oil. Smoke from the engine or the smell of burning oil could possibly be an important indicator of an oil leak. Also, the engine overheating could possibly be a product of an oil leak.
Learning when to replace your vehicle’s oil is also crucial to negate damage to the engine in your car. While some may suggest a short oil change interval from 3,000-5,000 miles, it’s recommended to have your oil changed every 5,000 to 7,000 miles or six months, whichever happens first. If you are uncertain about when you should change your oil you should contact our service department for more accurate info about your vehicle.

Ms. April Jackson was excellent throughout our experience at Group 1 Acura Sugar Land. We actually came to the dealership with no intention of purchasing a vehicle that day. The plan was simply to browse and look at our options. However, our experience with Ms. April ultimately convinced us to move forward with a purchase. She was incredibly kind, sincere, patient, and professional, and we never felt pressured or rushed. Her genuine approach made us feel comfortable and confident in our decision.

Ms. April Jackson was excellent throughout our experience at Group 1 Acura Sugar Land. We actually came to the dealership with no intention of purchasing a vehicle that day.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about my experience with the finance department. During the final paperwork, we were asked to complete the transaction using a touchscreen that was lagging and becoming frustrating to use. My daughter asked Diane/Diana in finance why there was not an option to use paper or DocuSign, as we have done at other dealerships. Her response was a sarcastic, “Because technology has advanced,” which she proceeded to repeat three times.
The tone and response were unnecessary, condescending, and disrespectful. A simple explanation would have been sufficient. We have purchased vehicles from many dealerships over the years, and I have never experienced this level of unprofessionalism from a finance department. If I were judging Acura Sugar Land solely based on this interaction, I would not return or recommend this dealership to others.
Thankfully, Ms. April’s professionalism, sincerity, and kindness made a significant difference in our overall experience. The fact that we walked in only intending to browse and ultimately purchased a vehicle speaks to the quality of service she provided. She is truly an asset to this dealership and the reason I would consider returning in the future. If I do return, I would only want to work with Ms. April again.
Sterling McCall Acura in Sugar Land, TX, has been my go-to car dealership since it opened. The service is excellent no matter if it is for regular servicing or state required emission inspection. The staff is always extremely courteous and attentive and the shop always gives your a good car wash as part of the service. I’m a customer for life or as long as I still own the Acura MDX.
