Oil Change Services

The length of time you can go between oil changes depends on your vehicle and the type of oil you use. Most modern vehicles can go 5,000 to 7,000 miles with synthetic blend or conventional oil, while some can go up to 10,000 miles with full synthetic. Every vehicle is different, so check your owner’s manual to know for sure. You can also stop into any VIP location and our Certified Automotive Professionals can help you figure out what’s right for your vehicle.

Synthetic oil is engineered to handle heat, cold, and friction better than conventional oil, which means longer intervals between changes and better protection for your engine. Conventional oil typically costs less up front, but needs more frequent changes. Not sure which is right for your vehicle? Stop into any VIP location and our Certified Automotive Professionals will point you in the right direction.

Old oil breaks down over time, leading to sludge and buildup that rob your engine of the lubrication, cooling, and protection it needs. Waiting too long between oil changes can lower fuel efficiency, increase engine wear, and lead to costly repairs. If you’re worried or can’t remember the last time you had an oil change, bring your vehicle in and we’ll get you back on track.

Oil change prices vary based on oil quality (conventional vs. full synthetic), filter quality, how much oil your vehicle requires (some trucks take up to 10 quarts), and labor costs. At VIP, we’re upfront about all of it. Our Good, Better, Best pricing makes it easy to understand your options, and we’ll always let you know if your vehicle requires extra labor or additional quarts of oil before we get started.

VIP’s Euro oil change is designed for specific European vehicle models that require extra labor to access the oil drain. Not all vehicles are built the same, and European models often have unique requirements that affect the service. Reach out via live chat or stop into any VIP location and our Certified Automotive Professionals will figure out the right oil change for you on the spot.

A typical oil change involves draining all of the old oil out, replacing the old oil filter with a new one, and then adding in new oil. Most vehicles require five quarts, but larger cars and trucks require more. The owner’s manual that came with your vehicle will tell you exactly what you need.

If you suspect a significant oil leak — large puddles or spots under your parked vehicle, or a trail of oil when you drive — do not drive your vehicle. Running an engine without enough oil can cause serious damage or cause it to seize entirely. Have your vehicle towed to a trusted auto repair shop. Even small oil leaks can be pinpointed by our Certified Automotive Professionals using dye diagnostics.
