Oil Change Facts

Now that you have an answer to the question, “How long does an oil change take,” check out some more general pointers on getting your oil changed:

• Does your car take synthetic or conventional oil? Typically, synthetic oil is more costly but does not affect how long it should take for an oil change.
• Newer cars, trucks, and SUVs no longer need an oil change every 3,000-miles. Instead, you can wait to get an oil change every 5,000-7,000-miles. Some models can even go as far as 10,000-miles between oil changes. Again, check your owner’s manual to see how often your vehicle’s oil needs changing.
• At Bowman Chevrolet, we offer frequent service specials to help you save on oil changes and other standard vehicle servicing maintenance.
