How much does it cost for an oil change?
When it comes to an oil change, there is not a “one size fits all” solution.
Our oil change lasts 15,000 miles or 1 year in gasoline vehicles and up to 20,000 miles or 1 year in some diesel vehicles. Obviously this is much longer than a normal 3,000 mile 3 month oil change.
Because of this our price per oil change is higher, but the value to you per mile is comparable to a normal oil change. In addition, you get a much better oil and service that comes to you so you never have to miss a project to get an oil change!
The cost varies based on several other factors as well:
- Oil Capacity- All vehicles are different. Some small cars can hold as little as 3 quarts while a diesel pickup can hold up to 15 quarts. From there medium and heavy duty diesel trucks can hold as much as 48 quarts. As you would expect, this affects the price.
- 2 wheel drive vs. 4 wheel drive- 4 wheel drive vehicles have a few more items that require inspection than a 2 wheel drive vehicle, so we charge a few extra dollars for them.
- Vehicle Duty Rating- Medium and Heavy duty vehicles hold much more oil than passenger vehicles. A single truck may have as much as 100 pounds of oil in the engine. This has to be drained, contained, then moved to our waste oil tank. We do this in steps to keep our technicians safe and prevent lifting injuries. These trucks also have many more grease points which take more time that a passenger vehicle.
Here is the price of a few common light duty vehicles. Your individual vehicle may vary.
- Chevrolet Express 3500 Van Gasoline V8- 6 quarts- $325
- 2015-2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3L 4×4- 8 quarts- $379
- Ford F350 6.7L Diesel 4×4- 13 quarts- $480
- Ford F150 5.0L 4×4- 8.8 quarts- $395
