Engine oil change
An oil change replaces the engine oil and the oil filter. Old oil loses its properties and protects the engine less, so it is changed at the manufacturer's interval, with the viscosity and specification in the service book (for example 5W-30, to the carmaker's standard). Unlike a full service, it doesn't necessarily include the air and cabin filters or a general check of the car: ask what the price includes.
