How Long Does An Oil Change Take?

When scheduling your next maintenance appointment, you might wonder, “How long does an oil change take?” On average, most service centers can perform a standard oil change in less than an hour.

How Long Should a DIY Oil Change Take?

We’ve covered how long does an oil change take at a dealership, but how long should an oil change take if I do the work myself? The answer will vary depending on your level of expertise. If it’s your first time performing an oil change, you’ll want to give yourself ample time to work – likely more than an hour.

You’ll also need to gather up the proper supplies: new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, correctly sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks. You’ll get better and more efficient with every DIY oil change, but initially, there might be more stress and mess than you anticipate.
