How Long Does an Oil Change Take?

Adding oil to engine

 

When you don’t know how long an oil change can take, it makes it easy to postpone vital maintenance because you think you don’t have time. Fact is, the oil change duration at Suburban Chevrolet is so quick that you can fit it into your lunch break when you choose a Suburban oil change! Take a look at how long an oil change takes when you do it yourself compared to choosing a Suburban oil change. Then, schedule an oil change appointment with us. We’ll get you in and back out on Bloomington streets in no time! 

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

The oil change duration when you opt to do it yourself at your Minnetonka home will vary depending on your skill level. Even if you’ve changed your oil on your own before, you should schedule at least an hour. You’ll also need to make sure you have the right tools on hand: new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, correctly sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks. If you have to buy any equipment, you’ll find it’s more cost-effective to bring your car to us for a Suburban oil change. 

More Oil Change Information

When you’re deciding whether to change your own oil or trust the service department at Suburban Chevrolet to get you back on the road, fast, keep in mind that you’ll need to change your oil every 5,000 – 7,500 miles. While some models can go up to 10,000 miles between oil changes. Check your owner’s manual to find out how long your car can go between oil changes. Then check your manual to find out if your car requires conventional or synthetic oil.
