How Long Should an Oil Change Take at Home?

Determining how long an oil change should take at home is a little different than estimating a professional service. While many Laveen drivers love the satisfaction of DIY maintenance work, it does take extra time and effort compared to swinging through the service center. You’ll need to stock your garage with new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, correctly sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks.

And if you’re new to at-home auto work, you’ll want to block out quite a bit of time to familiarize yourself with the process. Auto aficionados with lots of experience might be able to get the job done in an hour, but novices should give themselves plenty of time and not rush the process.

More Oil Change Information

We’ve covered how long an oil change should take at home vs. at a dealership, but what else should you know about oil changes? Since oil changes are such a common service, here are a few extra tips and tricks that you might want to consider:

• Techs used to recommend scheduling an oil change every 3,000 miles, but most vehicles can go between 5,000 and 7,500 miles on average in between services. That’s because both automotive technology and motor oil formulations are more sophisticated than they once were.
• If you use synthetic motor oil, you can go longer in between oil changes because synthetic oil lasts longer than conventional oil. But check your owner’s manual to see what formula is recommended.
• Oil changes at Bill Luke Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram are priced to make maintenance affordable for all drivers. But if you want to save even more on your next service, check out our rotating list of service specials.
