How Long Does An Oil Change Take

If your Chevrolet model is due for oil service, you might ask, “How long should an oil change take?” Most oil changes at Weber Chevrolet Co. near St. Louis will take less than an hour. So, you can schedule an appointment during your lunch break and hit the road again in no time. But how long does an oil change take if you do it yourself? Learn more from the service team at Weber Chevrolet Co. below!

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

When you decide to perform an oil change on your own, how long this takes can vary. After parking your vehicle in your St. Charles-area driveway, you should budget at least an hour. Changing oil by yourself means you need new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, right-sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks. It takes less time and money to turn to Weber Chevrolet Co. to replace your vehicle’s oil. It’s also far less of a headache to bring your car to one of our experienced technicians!

More Oil Change Information

Now that you know how long an oil change should take, remember to keep the following points in mind:

• Conventional wisdom used to say that you should schedule an oil change every 3,000 miles. Nowadays, newer vehicles need their oil changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Some Chevrolet models can go 10,000 miles between recommended oil changes. Check your owner’s manual for your specific oil change interval.
• Take advantage of our service specials for oil change coupons and other discounted services. 
• Make sure to know if your vehicle requires conventional or synthetic oil. Your owner’s manual has that information. While synthetic oil will cost more, it won’t affect the time needed for an oil change service.
