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

If you’re performing an oil change in your own in Belleville, the amount of time it takes can vary. You’ll want to budget at least an hour, but the time may vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Changing your own oil requires new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, correctly sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks. It often takes less time and costs less to turn to George Weber Chevrolet Company when it’s time to replace your vehicle’s oil — and it’s certainly less of a headache when you let us handle it!

More Oil Change Information

If it’s time to get an oil change, be sure to keep the following points in mind:

  • Conventional wisdom used to dictate that you should get an oil change every 3,000 miles—but these days, new vehicles need oil changes every 5,000–7,500 miles. Some models can even go 10,000 miles between oil changes. Refer to your owner’s manual for the specific oil change interval.
  • Our service specials page frequently offers oil change coupons and other discounted services.
  • Be sure to check and see if your vehicle requires synthetic or conventional oil. Your owner’s manual will have that information. Synthetic oil typically costs more, but it won’t affect the time required for an oil change.
