Important Oil Change Tips

Before we talk about how long an oil change takes, let’s cover some other helpful oil change tips: 

• The general recommendation is that you should have your oil changed every 5,000-7,500 miles. Some models can go more or less, so consult your owner’s manual for specific numbers. 
• Check to see if your vehicle requires synthetic oil or conventional oil. 
• Synthetic oil costs more than conventional oil but usually lasts longer. 
• Synthetic oil doesn’t affect the time it takes to perform an oil change. 

How Long Does an Oil Change Take by Myself? 

How long does it take to do an oil change by yourself? If you’re like some Swampscott drivers who prefer to do it themselves, then you should usually plan for at least an hour, but it can sometimes take longer depending on the type of vehicle you have and what kind of oil it requires. Changing the oil yourself involves getting new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks, which you can get at our parts store at Pride Chevrolet, Inc.. Sometimes, more parts may be required to change your oil. 

Overall, getting your oil changed can take less time and actually cost less money when you take it to a dealership.
