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

If you are performing an oil change on your own, the timeframe can ultimately vary. You will want to block out at least an hour, but this can take longer if you are not necessarily familiar with the process. You also will need to be familiar with multiple parts such as new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, correctly sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks. It might be worth your time and money to visit us in the Schererville area. It is ultimately less of a headache if we handle this.

More Oil Change Information

If it is the right time to get an oil change, here are some points to consider:
  • Typically, you should get an oil change every 3,000 miles, but these days new vehicles require oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Some models can go 10,000 miles between oil changes. Be sure to check your ownerā€™s manual for any specific oil change intervals.
  • Our service specials can help you find exactly what you are looking for in terms of oil change coupons and other discounted services.
  • Be sure to check our ownerā€™s manual to see if your vehicle require synthetic or conventional oil. Synthetic oil typically costs more, but it wonā€™t affect the time required for an oil change.
