How Long Does an Oil Change Take if You Do it At Home?

Thinking about doing an oil change for yourself in your Belton garage? It’s not unheard of, but there are a lot of things you’ll need to get it done. Without the resources and experience of the mechanics at a Killeen-area service center, you’ll need to budget extra time and gather the following:

• New oil
• New oil filter
• New oil filter gasket
• Rubber mallet
• Correctly sized wrenches
• Car jack
• Wheel blocks

Of course, all these supplies are at the Don Ringler Toyota service center, where we can get you in-and-out with new oil in under an hour!

How Long Does an Oil Change Take?: More Oil Change Facts

Waco drivers want to know how long an oil change takes, but they also come to us with other questions. Let’s cover a few of them:

• How often should I get an oil change? It used to be the case that almost every car needed an oil change every 3,000 miles. While that figure still applies to some vehicles, many use synthetic oil blends that degrade less easily, giving you 5,000, 7,000 and even 10,000-mile intervals between oil changes!

• What is synthetic oil? Often a staple of higher-end brands, synthetic oil is increasingly popular. This oil is more refined meaning it doesn’t get diary as quickly as conventional oil. Check your owner’s manual to see what kind of oil your car manufacturer is.

• How much does an oil change cost? Check on the service specials at Don Ringler Toyota to save time and money on your next oil change.
