Next time you need to get your engine oil changed, you need not spend extra on a mechanic’s labour charges or compromise with a dealership for higher lube cost. Automatic lube change machines, based on vacuum suction technology, officially launched at select petrol dealerships of Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) across Chandigarh tricity on Monday, provide this facility free of service cost to the customers.
The entire process of draining the oil chamber down to the last drop of the polluted oil, and filling fresh oil, is done even before you realise it, is drip free and you can see the quality and quantity of the used oil drained and the fresh oil being pumped in right before your eyes. You just need to buy the specially formulated high-performance Servo lubricants, matching the specific requirements of your vehicle, from the petrol dealers with whom these machines are installed.
