How Much Is An Oil Change For Regular & Synthetic Oil?

When you’re getting an oil change, you’ll find that your vehicle may require regular or synthetic oil. Regular oil, also known as conventional oil, typically costs less than synthetic oil. However, you’ll likely need to replace your oil more often with conventional oil.

On the other hand, synthetic oil is more expensive but can last longer between oil changes, and it’s usually recommended for performance and luxury vehicles if you want a smooth driving experience in Lafayette. So, how much does it cost for an oil change cost for regular and synthetic oil? Take a look below to discover a few things to keep in mind with oil changes:

  • Oil Change Costs: As we mentioned, oil change prices for conventional oil are typically around $35 to $75, and that price difference tends to depend on whether your vehicle requires synthetic or conventional oil. In addition, changes in global trade policies may raise typical oil change costs. For a more accurate oil change estimate for your vehicle, reach out to Sterling Buick GMC West.
  • More Than an Oil Change: While oil change costs at a dealership are typically higher than quick-lube centers, a dealership usually has highly trained technicians who will inspect other aspects of your vehicle during an oil change to catch small issues before they become major problems.
  • Complimentary Maintenance: Many new vehicles are eligible for complimentary maintenance depending on the model and dealership, so it’s worth checking to determine if your vehicle has complimentary maintenance for straightforward oil changes.
