Oil Change Service in Spearfish, SD
To keep challenging the roads in the Spearfish area, we recommend that you get your oil changed at regular intervals. But when is the best time to have this task done? Our Juneks CDJR team explains the importance of oil, when to get it changed, and signs that indicate when it should be swapped out.
The Importance of Oil Changes
Oil is a liquid that flows through the engine of a Jeep Compass and Grand Cherokee, lubricating the metallic parts within the powertrain. Additionally, the oil stabilizes the temperature of the vehicle as you're driving on Highway 85. Overall, fresh oil maximizes the performance of any model. In other words, you'll get the advertised horsepower, torque, and even towing capacity ratings when the oil is in good condition. After a few months, or even a year, it will gradually lose its consistency. When that occurs, you should make plans to have it changed. Waiting too long will reduce the strength of the vehicle.
Timeline
The durability of your oil depends on the brand that was used for your Dodge Hornet or Durango. Generally, oil has a lifespan of six months, or 7,500 miles. However, there are some versions that last for more than a year, or 10,000 miles. This period can change if you are driving more than most motorists or if you're towing heavier equipment most of the time. Fortunately, our Service Department can supply you with either variation to best serve your needs. To be absolutely sure of what kind of oil you require, check the Owner's Manual for specifics. It can tell you the grade of oil that helps your vehicle the most.
Warning Signs
It's common to experience problems with your Chrysler 300 or Pacifica as you're going to places like the Spearfish Canyon Nature Area. If you hear noises coming from your engine while heading to your destination, there could be an issue with the oil. While the vehicle is off, check the dipstick under the hood. When readings are on the add line, then you may require an oil change. Sometimes, the levels are fine, but the appearance of the oil is dark. This is a sign of wear, and it could lead to sludge in the powertrain. Finally, any reduction in fuel economy and overall vehicle performance is an indication that oil needs to be swapped for a fresh batch. Stop by our service location today to get assistance.
How Long Does New Oil Last?
- Oil can last between 7,500 and 10,000 miles, depending on the brand you're using.

JOYCE WILLIAMS
“ Seriously the best customer service I’ve ever experienced! I live over an hour away and had an oil leak in my Jeep that I found before leaving before my last baby checkup appt before my induction next week. I’ll be bringing home my baby in the Jeep, so a potential issue was the last thing I needed. They got me in with no appt and shuttled me to my doctors appt so I didn’t miss it. They found the cause to be a leak in the oil filter and had it fixed and did an oil change I was about due for within the hour. Every person I interacted with there was over the top kind and helpful. They’re definitely going to be my go to for any of my Jeep needs moving forward! ”

Gregory Moore
“ My name is Gregory Moore, I was in Sturgis for the bike rally August 2024. My new 2025 Ram 1500 broke down leaving me stranded with a trailer and 2 motorcycles 1,600 miles from home. I took my truck to Juneks to have it checked out. After they examined the vehicle it was determined it was not safe enough to drive and it would have to stay for repairs. I left it for a couple of days. When I returned the situation was worse than I thought. My new truck had some serious issues and would be down far past the end of my stay at Sturgis. After working for hours with the owner Ryan, he helped me found a solution to get me, my trailer and motorcycles back to Georgia. It started out with Ryan calling one of his employees in on her off day. Kathy Miles reported in on her off day to drive me 70 miles away to pickup a Uhaul that Juneks was providing for me. After it was all said and done due to issues with 2 Uhaul trucks. Kathy had to drive me 269 miles one way to pickup a Uhaul truck. Over 500 miles round trip. I would like to thank Ryan and Kathy for their support and hard work. They really helped make the best of a stressful situation. ”

He said what Bro
“ I made a mistake with a fuel additive and needed to get my tank drained as well as the fuel system purged. Though it took a little more time and money than estimated to complete the project the service manager, Richard, was extremely courteous and knowledgeable dealing with a difficult situation. All those in the shop were very jovial and professional, which lets you know it’s a healthy workplace. I also received a military discount, which says a lot about the company. I will definitely be using them for future work on my Dodge truck. ”
