# Oil change near ZIP 89508: Cold Springs and Silver Knolls, Mae Anne Avenue in 35 minutes

From Cold Springs and the rest of ZIP 89508 our Mae Anne Avenue service center is about 35 minutes and 23 miles down US-395 by OSRM routing, and Longley Lane is about 34. It is a long way for an oil change alone, so most 89508 drivers fit it into a trip to Reno and get the Washoe smog test done in the same stop.

★★★★★ 4.6 stars from 209 Google reviews

Honesty first: 89508 is the farthest Washoe ZIP on our map. Cold Springs, Silver Knolls, Red Rock and the land up toward Bordertown are close to the California line, and the drive to either Reno service center is half an hour or more. Locals tell us the real-world trip feels shorter than the routing says. If your week already takes you into Reno for work, shopping or the airport, here is how a stop at Mae Anne fits in.

## Plan the stop around the trip

Head south on US-395. For Mae Anne, leave the freeway at McCarran Boulevard and follow McCarran west until Mae Anne Avenue crosses it; OSRM gives about 35 minutes. For Longley Lane, keep going as US-395 becomes I-580 and exit at Mill Street; about 34. The difference is one minute, so choose the service center on the side of town where your errand is.

Weekday hours at both are 8 to 5. On Saturday, Mae Anne stays open until 4 and Longley until 3. Nothing is open Sunday.

- Bring the DMV renewal notice if it has arrived
- Note the mileage on the old oil sticker
- Tell us if a warning light came on during the drive

## Long commutes, more vehicles

ZCTA 89508 has 14,858 residents in 5,114 households per the ACS 2020-2024 estimates, and those households average 2.48 vehicles, with 80.6 percent owning two or more. The median household income is $97,361 per the ACS.

The mean commute is 34.4 minutes, among the longest of any ZIP we serve, with 75.0 percent driving alone (ACS 2020-2024). Highway miles are easy on oil per mile, but they pile up fast; at 50 miles a day, the 5,000 to 7,500 miles that AAA says many synthetic-oil engines can run comes around in a few months. Your owner's manual sets the actual interval.

## Smog in 89508

Cold Springs sits south of the 40th parallel, and the Nevada DMV emission page puts that part of Washoe County inside the testing area. Gasoline vehicles need the yearly test from the fourth registration, hybrids from the sixth model year, and light and medium diesels up to 14,000 pounds GVWR are included. A pass is good for 90 days, so a test done on a February trip still covers an April renewal.

## Cold Springs weather is hard on batteries

The name is accurate. The valley floor north of Reno often runs colder at night than the Reno airport station, which already averages about 122 freezing nights a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Cold cranking is where a weak battery shows up, so ask for the [battery check](https://xpressoilandlube.com/services/battery-check/) when you come in for oil between November and March.
