Engine oil and filters — essential for performance

The engine is your car’s heart, and oil is its lifeblood. It lubricates, cools, and protects moving parts from wear and overheating. Regular oil and filter changes extend engine life, improve efficiency, and help prevent major breakdowns.

Delaying maintenance, using the wrong oil or cheap filters can lead to sludge, pressure loss, overheating, or even engine failure.

At Mario Garage (Cagnes-sur-Mer), we perform oil changes and filter replacements according to the manufacturer’s standards — quickly, transparently, and without unnecessary upselling.
