What’s the Difference between a Quick Oil Change and a Regular?

We are all pressed for time these days. It just seems like there are not enough hours in the day. No matter what we do to manage our time or to get better organized, there is always something that goes undone.

Regular maintenance is so important to your car that it’s not something you can skip out on, but it can be hard for many people to make the time for it. Fortunately, there are options to help you get the service you need without taking too much time out of your schedule.

A quick oil change is a great option for an oil change, which you have to get every three months or so.

You may be wondering what is different about a quick oil change from a regular oil change. Since it takes less time, does that mean you don’t get the same service?

The short answer is that there is no difference. You get the same service with a quick oil change as you would a regular oil change: Complete changing of the oil, replacement of the oil filter, and proper disposal of the old oil and filter.

The reason it’s considered a “quick” oil change is that the service station has committed to performing it in a certain time period, such as between 20 and 30 minutes. The service provider isn’t cutting corners to meet these time guidelines. The provider has just put the infrastructure in place to make it happen. For example, more mechanics may be scheduled during certain times to perform only oil changes, and all the supplies needed for the oil changes may be heavily stocked in one location for quick and convenient access.

When shopping for providers who offer quick oil changes, it is important that you get referrals or read online reviews. That way you can be sure that the provider has a history of providing a quality oil change, even under the time constraints. If the provider has a history of cutting corners, you will learn about it through others’ experiences.
