What Should Your Oil change Budget Be?

Updated: Jun 3, 2022

There is one car care essential that should never be overlooked - the oil change. This car maintenance can oftentimes feel a chore, however it is necessary for your cars overall health and performance. So, how much does an oil change really cost at our Toyota of Orlando service center? The answer is simple - far less than the cost of replacing your engine if you skip it or push it off.


What is the cost of an oil change at Toyota of Orlando?

When you are in need of an oil change you can easily schedule this at our Orando Toyota Service Center. Let’s break down what the oil change process will look like and what the cost will be so you can get an idea of what your day will look like at Toyota of Orlando.

There are two types of oil changes each at different prices:


- A Conventional oil change will cost you anywhere between the price point of $35 - 75.

- A synthetic oil change will cost you anywhere between the price point of $65 - 125.


You may notice that there is a range and be wondering what is the factor that causes this and the answer is simple - the size of your vehicle. Larger vehicles, like trucks and SUVs may require additional oil than the typical 5 quarts that would be used in a passenger car like a sedan. You should keep this in mind when you receive a quote for your Orlando oil change.


When you arrive, our Toyota service technicians will get to work draining out the used oil to ensure your car will be running with a fresh batch. After discarding the oil in the appropriate manner they will replace the dirty oil filter with a clean one and add the new, fresh oil to your engine. This is a simple process and does not require much time.




So when should you think about bringing your car to our Orlando Toyota Service Center and are there any other factors you should consider before our techs get to work on your Orlando Toyota? Take a look at what you should be thinking about:


- Conventional oil will cost less than synthetic and is made of refined crude oil. This type of oil will not last as long as synthetic and some drivers comment on a difference in their cars performance when used.


- Synthetic oil has a more in-depth refining process which is why the cost is higher. You’ll find that synthetic will last longer than conventional so you’ll be able to drive longer in between changes. You may also see a difference in your vehicle's performance as well.


- Some vehicle’s are able to use a synthetic blend, which means that it will be a mixture of both conventional and synthetic oil.


- A high mileage oil may be recommended by our Orlando auto service techs if you have an older car. This specialized oil will keep your Orlando Toyota that is older or has high mileage running smoothly and helps with the prevention of leaks.
