If you’re curious about “how long should an oil change take?”, read on to learn more and consider scheduling an appointment and getting back on the Grove City roadways as soon as possible.

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

Rather than coming down to a Franklin County service center, you might wonder how long does an oil change take if I do it? Remember, you should budget at least 60 minutes to prepare for this. Changing the oil on your own means new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, correctly-sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks.

While you may have done it yourself, it can take less time and cost much less when you take it to a dealership’s service center like at Byers Auto Group.

Beyond knowing how long should an oil change take, the following points should be considered when you get an oil change:

• Many people around Columbus or Dublin might consider getting a car oil change every 3,000 miles. However, newer vehicles need oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Some cars might even be able to go 10,000 miles between oil changes. For specific requirements, check your owner’s manual for the appropriate oil change interval.
• Check out our Service Specials as oil change coupons and other related services may be listed.
• Make sure you are aware if your vehicle requires synthetic or conventional oil. The owner’s manual is your best place to look and will have that listed. Synthetic oil costs more, yet it doesn’t affect the time needed for an oil change.
