How much should an oil change usually cost?

An oil change can cost anywhere from $50 to $75 for synthetic blend oil and $75 to $125 for synthetic oil, but this can vary significantly based on your location, the type of vehicle, and the service center. Prices can be higher at dealerships, while quick lube shops may offer lower rates. Factors like labor rates, oil quality, and additional services all affect the final price. 

 

How does a 15 minute oil change work?

A 15-minute oil change works by having two technicians perform a two-part job simultaneously, allowing them to complete the oil change while the customer waits in their car. One technician works from below to drain the old oil and replace the filter, while another works from above to check fluids and other components. This approach streamlines the process for efficiency without an appointment. 

 

Is full synthetic oil worth it?

Yes, full synthetic oil is worth it for many drivers due to its superior engine protection, better fuel efficiency, and longer oil change intervals, even though it has a higher upfront cost. The benefits, such as reduced engine wear, better performance in extreme temperatures, and fewer oil changes over time, can make it a worthwhile long-term investment, particularly for high-performance, high-mileage, or turbocharged vehicles. 

 

Can you go 2 years without changing oil?

On the other hand, don't wait too long regardless of advances in oil technology. Don't change your oil every two years, for example, even if you rarely drive your car. Most manufacturers don't recommend leaving the same oil in your engine for more than a year.

Can I still drive my car if it says change oil soon?

It is not advisable to drive with the oil light on for an extended period. If you're driving on the highway, it's best to find a safe place to stop and have your car checked out. As we've already mentioned, driving with the oil light on can result in severe engine damage, so it's best to avoid it if possible.

 

Do synthetic oils last longer?

Yes, synthetic oil lasts longer than conventional oil because it degrades more slowly, resists high temperatures better, and provides superior engine protection. This allows for extended oil change intervals, but the exact lifespan depends on the vehicle, driving conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines in your owner's manual and not to exceed a maximum of one year between oil changes. 

 

Benefits of synthetic oil

  • Longer life: 
    Synthetic oil has a higher resistance to thermal breakdown, meaning it lasts longer before needing to be changed. 
     
  • Superior protection: 
    It offers better lubrication, which reduces engine wear and can lead to a longer-lasting engine. 
     
  • Better performance: 
    Synthetic oil flows more easily at low temperatures and maintains viscosity at high temperatures, leading to better performance in a wider range of conditions. 
     
Factors to consider
  • Manufacturer recommendations: 
    Always follow the oil change intervals specified in your vehicle's owner's manual. These intervals are tied to the specific type of oil (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic) recommended for your car. 
     
  • Driving conditions: 
    Severe conditions like frequent stop-and-go traffic, heavy towing, or driving in dusty or very hot environments can shorten the oil's lifespan, even if it's synthetic. 
     
  • Time vs. mileage: 
    Even if you don't drive many miles, oil can degrade over time. It is crucial not to exceed the time limit (typically one year) for an oil change, regardless of mileage, as the additives break down and contaminants accumulate.
