How Long Should an Oil Change Take If I Do It Myself?

When performing an oil change yourself, the amount of time it takes can vary. Set aside at least an hour to take care of everything. But it can take more or less than that. You’ll need to set aside time and money to purchase new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, correctly sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks.

You may find it takes less time and costs less to turn to a dealership like Exceptional Motorcar when it’s time to replace your vehicle’s oil. What could you do with the extra time you save by taking your vehicle to a dealership? It’s also less of a headache to let our expert technicians handle an oil change!

More Oil Change Information

If it’s time to get an oil change, please keep the following points in mind:

• Conventional wisdom might tell you to change the oil every 3,000 miles or three months. But that’s no longer the case for new vehicles and used vehicles made in the past five years or so. New vehicles need oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, especially if you go with synthetic versus conventional oil. In fact, some models can even go 10,000 miles between oil changes. Check your owner’s manual, oil pressure monitor system (OPMS), or driver’s information screen on your car, truck, or SUV to see the specific oil change interval.
• We may have oil change offers and service coupons to save money on some of your regular vehicle maintenance.
• Be sure to check and see if your vehicle requires synthetic or conventional oil. Your owner’s manual will have that information. Synthetic oil typically costs more, but it won’t affect the time required for an oil change. Synthetic oil also keeps your engine in better shape over the long term.
