How Long Does An Oil Change Take?

Oil-Change

How long does an oil change take at our service center? Our specially trained technicians will have you on the road again in under an hour while performing a vehicle inspection! Like some Troy drivers, you might prefer to change your car’s oil at home, especially if you have some extra time on your hands. So how long should an oil change take if you go the DIY route? That depends on your auto service experience, but it will most likely take longer than professional oil change service. In the guide below from Dave Arbogast, learn how to change your car’s oil at home in Dayton, and where to schedule professional oil change service near you in Troy.

How Long Should an Oil Change Take If You Do It Yourself?

Planning to change your car’s oil at home? If you’ve never performed this service yourself, set aside more time than you think you need and have the following supplies at the ready:

  • Car jack
  • Wheel blocks
  • Fresh engine oil
  • New oil filter
  • Rubber mallet
  • New oil filter gasket
  • Correctly sized wrenches

Note: While most vehicles require conventional motor oil, some require synthetic or run better with premium oil. Check your owner’s manual to see what’s best for your car, and order what you need from us! Synthetic oil changes typically take about the same amount of time as conventional oil changes.
