Hello Okotoks & Calgary! Today’s vehicle care topic is: Synthetic Oil vs. Petroleum Based Oil. Synthetic motor oil is a substitute for petroleum based oil. If you aren’t currently using it, why not? Synthetic motor oil maximizes engine power and fuel economy. To see why, we’d need a microscope, so we’ll have to settle for using our […]
Most Alberta drivers know something about preventive maintenance on a vehicle. We know we should routinely replace the oil and wiper blades and other fluids. But have you heard of a PCV valve ? This little car part needs to be replaced regularly or it can cause some serious problems in your vehicle engine. PCV […]
Hello Alberta! Did you know that the first federally-mandated emissions control device was introduced in the 1960’s? The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, or PCV valve, has been installed in Okotoks vehicles since 1964 and represents the first legislation by the United States government to regulate harmful emissions as well as to improve performance in the […]
Many Alberta residents don’t realize that there is more to exhaust system maintenance than just tailpipes and mufflers, if you can see smoke or if it’s too loud. Exhaust service at a full-service automotive center like Lube Town is really a lot more comprehensive these days. For example, in the U.S., the federal government required […]

All of us in Alberta know we have to get the oil changed in our vehicles periodically. That’s just part of good vehicle care. But when Lube Town technicians change your oil, they also usually inspect your air filter. That’s why they sometimes let you know that your air filter needs to be changed before releasing your vehicle. […]
We don’t want to think about it, but each Alberta resident who drives or rides in a vehicle is potentially an accident victim. In the worst-case scenario, those people are unconscious and unable to communicate with rescue workers. Rescue workers and Alberta police are well aware of this difficulty, even if the rest of us […]
One Alberta automotive service issue that doesn’t get much attention is driveline service. Drivelines don’t get talked about very much around Alberta, but they’re very important. First let’s define what the driveline is: Taking a small step back, the power plant is comprised of the engine and transmission. The driveline starts there and includes all […]
Hello Alberta – let’s talk differentials. If you have a rear-wheel drive vehicle, your differential is on the back axle. With front-wheel drive cars, the differential is up front. All-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive vehicles have three differentials – front, rear and in the middle. So you see, you’ve got a differential (or two or […]
