Full synthetic oil changes in Windsor

About what the quick lube down the road charges, except your rig goes up on a lift and somebody who builds 4x4s for a living looks underneath it. Drop it off, and pick it up knowing what shape the underside is in.

What you actually get

The inspection is the point

Anybody can drain a pan. What makes it worth bringing a modified truck here is the time it spends on the lift with somebody who knows what a tired track bar looks like. We tell you plainly what needs attention now and what can wait — and we are just as happy to tell you nothing is wrong.

01

Suspension & steering

Ball joints, tie rod and drag link ends, track bar bushings, sway bar links, and the mounting hardware on aftermarket parts — the bolts that work loose on a lifted rig.

02

Leaks and seals

Axle and pinion seals, transfer case output, valve covers, and the oil pan. Fluid on the inside of a wheel is a seal telling you something.

03

Brakes

Pad life remaining, rotor condition, and a look at hoses and hard lines — the parts big tires and long downhill grades are hardest on.

04

Tires and wheel bearings

Tread depth and wear pattern, which tells us whether the alignment is off or something is worn, plus play at the top of each tire.

05

Driveline and CV boots

U-joints, slip yoke, driveshaft play, and torn CV boots — a cheap boot caught early instead of an axle later.

06

Fluid levels

Differential, transfer case, transmission, coolant, brake and power steering levels and condition, checked while we are already under there.

Found during the inspection

Oil pan taking hits?

The oil pan and transmission hang low, and a dented pan is one of the most common things we find on the lift. If yours is scarred up, we can swap in a heavy-duty oil pan, or add an oil pan or transmission skid plate so the next rock hits a plate instead. A pan swap is a bigger job than the oil change — on many trucks it means dropping the front differential or a crossmember — so it is quoted separately by vehicle.

Intervals

How often, if you actually drive it

Most manufacturers publish two schedules: normal and severe service. Towing, dusty and gravel roads, mountain driving, short trips in cold weather, and any off-road use put you on the severe schedule. Plenty of trucks in Northern Colorado qualify without ever touching a trail — a commute over gravel and a couple of weekends in the high country is enough.

On the severe schedule that means an oil change every 4,000 to 5,000 miles — Jeep and Ram say 4,000, Toyota and Ford say 5,000. The 7,500 to 10,000 miles often quoted for full synthetic is the normal schedule, for vehicles that stay on pavement. Rather than guess, tell us how you actually use the vehicle and we will set intervals that match it. The oil life monitor in a modern truck is a decent guide, but it does not know you spent the summer at 4 mph in low range with a trailer behind you.

Oil selection

Standard and premium synthetic

Our standard engine oil is a full synthetic that meets the specification in your owner’s manual — the viscosity and the API or manufacturer approval your engine actually calls for, not whatever is on sale. For most trucks and Jeeps that is all the oil you need, and it is what is priced above.

Our premium upgrade is AMSOIL, and it is worth considering if you tow regularly, run low range in the heat, or want to stretch your drain interval. Premium synthetics hold up better against shear and heat, which matters more at 3 mph on a climb than it does at 70 on the interstate. Ask when you book and we will tell you honestly whether your rig and your driving justify it.

Questions

Oil change FAQ

How much is an oil change?

$109 for full synthetic up to 6 quarts and $139 up to 8 quarts, with the filter and a 4x4 inspection included. Additional quarts are $13 each and an AMSOIL premium upgrade is $50, or $60 on 8-quart engines. Off-Camber club members take $15 off.

Are there extra fees at the counter?

No. The price on this page is the price on the invoice. Used oil disposal and shop supplies are already covered, so there is nothing added when you pick the vehicle up.

How long does an oil change take?

The work itself runs about 45 minutes, but every job here is drop-off — we do not have a waiting room. Leave the vehicle with us and we will let you know when it is ready. Early drop-off and late pickup can usually be arranged so it fits around your workday.

How often should I change the oil in a truck that goes off-road?

Follow the severe-service schedule in your owner’s manual. For off-road, dusty-road or towing use, Jeep and Ram call for an oil change every 4,000 miles, and Toyota and Ford every 5,000. The 7,500 to 10,000 miles often quoted for synthetic oil applies to the normal schedule, for vehicles that stay on pavement.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. An appointment lets us have the right filter on hand and a lift open when you arrive. Call or text 970-509-5118.

Do you do diesel oil changes?

Not at this time. We service gas engines only for oil changes. We still work on diesel trucks for suspension, armor, lighting and other build work.

Can I bring my own oil and filter?

Yes, though the pricing above does not apply and labor is billed separately. See our customer-supplied parts policy for how we handle parts you provide.

Do you service stock vehicles, or only lifted ones?

Both. We service stock trucks, Jeeps and SUVs, and a daily driver gets the same attention a full build does.

I had brake pads, rotors, & wheel bearings replaced and brake lines flushed on a 1992 4 WD Toyota Pickup by Zach Adams, Owner | Off-Camber 4x4 Garage. I live in Hawaii and my son is living in Greeley attending college at FRCC. I contacted Zach by e-mail asking if he could do this work for me since other businesses would not work on the truck because of the year. Zach was very professional, helpful, and accommodating through the whole process. I highly recommend him for any 4x4 work !

My rear brakes were grinding. And I was worried about the bearings. So I took it in and they identified the problem and fixed it in just a few hours with new rotors brakes. I’ll be referring many people there. Great people great service easy to work with.
