When your vehicle needs an oil change, you may find that dealerships and auto repair shops offer either an oil change or an oil change service. You’ll especially see an oil change service offered by dealerships.
But what is the real difference between an oil change and an oil change service?
For most auto repair shops and convenient oil-lube establishments, an oil change means the oil gets drained out and changed. Pretty simple. It is often the less expensive of the two options.
An oil change service, however, is the changing of the oil; plus a safety inspection that examines the oil filter, cabin filter, a check of brake pads, tires, fluids, etc. The price for an oil change service is usually higher because of the extra care, value, and reports placed into the inspection.
If you are in a pinch and you need an oil change in a hurry, you can get away with a quick oil change without issue. However, if you take the time to include the safety inspection of an oil change service, your car and your long-term repair costs will benefit.
