How Long Does an Oil Change Take?

Oil changes are a key part of your Mazda maintenance schedule, and you should have your car’s oil changed on a regular basis for best results. But just how long does an oil change take?

In the guide below from North Penn Mazda. find out how long an oil change should take when the time comes to schedule service near Lansdale.

How Long Should an Oil Change Take If I Do It At Home?

If you’ve never done it before, changing your car’s oil yourself isn’t likely to save you any time, and may in fact take even longer. If you’ve got a free afternoon, it may be worth your while to learn how to check your oil and change it at home. You also won’t save time by changing your oil yourself unless you have all the necessary tools and supplies on hand. These include:

• Fresh motor oil
• New oil filter
• New oil filter gasket
• Rubber mallet
• Properly sized wrenches
• Car jack
• Wheel blocks

While some drivers do regularly change their oil at home, most defer to the professionals and take their car in for service. Especially if you schedule ahead, the expert technicians at North Penn Mazda have you in and out in no time.
