How Long Does An Oil Change Take?

An oil change takes between 30-45 minutes to complete. Let’s go over the process that goes into changing your engine oil. A basic oil change consists of changing the oil and the oil filter, replacing the old oil with new oil recommended by the manufacturer. At our Council Bluffs location, we also ensure there are no other issues and will top off your fluids to prevent any future problems. 

We like to take care of our valued customers at Edwards Chevrolet, which is why we offer you beverages and a comfy place to wait until your vehicle is ready. If you don’t have time to wait around, we also provide a courtesy shuttle service so you can still get where you need to go. 

When Does Your Vehicle Need an Oil Change?

Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, when to change your oil could vary. On many modern vehicles, when you need an oil change, an alert will appear on the dashboard. You could also consult your owner’s manual to see what is recommended by the manufacturer. 

Here are some things to look for that may mean it’s time to get an oil change:

  • Fuel decreases more rapidly
  • Loud banging around the engine compartment
  • Oil smell inside the vehicle
