How Long Should an Oil Change Take If You Do it Yourself?

If you’re considering a DIY oil change, the amount of time it will take will fluctuate depending on your skill and other factors, like how many times you’re interrupted. Changing your own oil also requires fresh oil, a new oil filter, and a new oil filter gasket, along with wrenches, wheel blocks, a rubber mallet, and maybe even a car jack. 

If you don’t have everything you need on hand already, it may cost less to turn to the service teamat Beechmont Toyota. Unless you’re a veteran DIY enthusiast, it’ll probably save you time too.

More Oil Change Tips

If your Toyota needs an oil change, these are some helpful tips from the Beechmont Toyota service team:

• In the past, drivers were told to get an oil change about every 3,000 miles. These days, new Toyotas can go between 5,000 – 7,500 miles between oil changes. Specific models can even go as far as 10,000 miles between visits. You should check your owner’s manual for specific oil change recommendations for your year, make, and model.
• Even if you’re getting all of your oil changes on schedule, you should check your oil level once every month or so.
• Interested in saving money? Review the service specials at Beechmont Toyota for oil change coupons and other discounted auto care services.
• Check your owner’s manual to see if your vehicle requires synthetic or conventional motor oil. In some cases, a synthetic/conventional blend may provide the best of both worlds.
