How Long Does an Oil Change Take on Average?

Auto mechanic checking oil

Drivers in New Orleans and Metairie lead busy lives, but proper car maintenance is an absolute necessity to keep your vehicle in top condition. So if planning your next visit, how long does an oil change take – or rather, how long SHOULD an oil change take? On average, an oil change will take less than an hour of your time and you’ll see great benefits from this small time commitment. Plus, Leson Chevrolet offers convenient scheduling options to help you plan easily.

Can I Change My Oil Myself?

You know the answer to the question “how long does an oil change take” from a professional, but how long should an oil change take if you do the work yourself? While a seasoned auto enthusiast can get a DIY oil change done in about an hour, many Belle Chasse drivers find themselves stuck in the garage for much longer. You might be surprised by all the supplies that you need: new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, correctly sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks. Many drivers find that it’s easier, cheaper, and less messy to let the pros handle oil changes.
