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

We know you love your new Chevy and want to keep it in top condition for years to come. Are you curious about how long should an oil change take if you DIY? Times vary if you do it yourself, but you should plan for at least an hour. If you DIY, you’ll need the following:

  • Rubber mallet
  • Fresh motor oil
  • A new oil filter
  • New oil filter gasket
  • Wheel blocks
  • Variety of wrenches
  • Car jack

If you don’t have these things, don’t worry. It typically will save you time and money to take your car to a dealership around Bakersfield like Delano Chevrolet. Plus, it’s a lot less hassle!

More Oil Change Tips

If you need an oil change before you proceed on your Porterville drives, keep these points in mind:

  • New vehicles need oil changes every 5,000 – 7,500 miles; some models can even go longer, like up to 10,000 miles between oil changes. Check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations for your vehicle.
  • Check our service offers for oil change discounts! You might be able to save some money!
  • Find out if your vehicle requires conventional vs. synthetic oil by checking your owner’s manual or chatting with a Delano Chevrolet service advisor. Synthetic oil costs more, but it won’t impact how long an oil change takes.
