How Long Does an Oil Change Take?

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

If you’re performing an oil change for yourself, the amount of time it takes can vary. Plan to block off at least an hour, but keep in mind that it could take more or less time depending on your vehicle and your familiarity with it.

Changing oil yourself requires the following items:

• New oil
• A new oil filter
• A new oil filter gasket
• A rubber mallet
• Correctly sized wrenches
• A jack
• Wheel blocks

It often takes less time and costs less to turn to a dealership like Midway Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram when it’s time to replace your vehicle’s oil — and it’s certainly less stress to let us take care of this task!

More Oil Change Tips

If it’s time to get an oil change, there are several other things to keep in mind:

• You will often find oil change offers on our service specials page.
• Check your owner’s manual to see if your vehicle requires synthetic or conventional oil. Synthetic oil typically costs more, but it won’t affect the time required for an oil change.
• Our experienced service team and state-of-the-art equipment allows us to work on more cars than a generic auto shop.
• Conventional wisdom used to dictate that you should get an oil change every 3,000 miles. However, due to advances in vehicle technology and motor oil, new vehicles typically only need an oil change every 5,000 – 7,500 miles. There are some models that can even go 10,000 miles between oil changes. Your owner’s manual should have more information about oil change intervals for your particular make and model.
