How Long Does an Oil Change Take?

Oil Change


It’s important to get our oil changed regularly so that you can keep driving efficiently on the The Woodlands roads. Luckily, an oil change is an easy service and doesn’t take long. How long should an oil change take? Usually, you can drop off your vehicle to a service shop and have its oil changed over lunch. Find out how long you can expect to wait for your oil change with the service center at Tom Peacock Nissan, and visit us for all of your service needs. 

How Long Should an Oil Change Take Doing It Yourself?

How long does an oil change take if you perform a DIY oil change? The amount of time it takes can depend on several factors, but you’ll want to block out at least an hour of your time. If you change your vehicle’s oil yourself, then you’ll need new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, wrenches of the right size, a jack, and wheel blocks. While it’s easy to perform an oil change yourself, you can save some time and work by bringing it into our service center near Spring. Schedule a visit with Tom Peacock Nissan to get your oil changed in no time. 

Other Oil Change Tips

Now that you know how long an oil change should take, here are some other things to consider when getting your oil changed: 

  • It was recommended in the past that you should change your oil every 3,000 miles, but now the recommendation is 5,000–7,500 miles. Some vehicles can even go around 10,000 miles between oil changes, but you’ll want to check your owner’s manual for specific numbers. 
  • Check whether your vehicle requires synthetic oil or conventional oil before getting an oil change. 
  • Synthetic oil will cost more than regular oil, but it lasts longer than regular oil.
