How Long Does an Oil Change Take if I Do it Myself? 

The time it takes to do an oil change on your own at home in Mcdonough will depend on your level of experience. Have you ever changed your own oil before? If you’re using an online video tutorial, expect to work for at least an hour, although it should take less time with practice. When you perform your own oil change you will need to have the right kind of new oil for your car (check your owner’s manual), a new oil filter, and an oil filter gasket. You can purchase all of these from our parts department. You’ll also need a rubber mallet, correctly-sized wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks. It often takes less time to get a professional oil change.
