Top Oil & Filter Change related questions

n the UK, the average cost of an oil and filter change typically ranges between £60 and £120, depending on your car’s make, model, and the type of oil required. Luxury vehicles or those using fully synthetic oil may cost more, while smaller cars with standard oil changes tend to be on the lower end. Booking a mobile oil and filter change near me can also help save time and travel costs.

Some of the most common signs that your oil and filter need changing include:

  • Dark, dirty, or gritty oil when you check the dipstick

  • Engine warning or oil change lights on your dashboard

  • Louder-than-usual engine noise or knocking sounds

  • Reduced fuel efficiency

  • Exhaust smoke or a burning oil smell

    If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s worth booking a car oil change service as soon as possible to avoid engine damage.


There are several types of engine oil available in the UK, and the right one depends on your vehicle and driving conditions:

  • Conventional Mineral Oil – Standard oil made from refined crude, suitable for older cars.

  • Semi-Synthetic Oil – A blend of mineral and synthetic oils, offering better protection and efficiency.

  • Fully Synthetic Oil – Provides maximum performance, efficiency, and engine protection; often required for modern vehicles.

  • High-Mileage Oil – Designed for cars with over 75,000 miles, formulated to reduce leaks and engine wear.

Your mechanic will always use the correct grade and type of oil recommended by your car manufacturer when carrying out an oil change and filter near me service.

What do oil and filter change services include?

Regular oil and filter changes are one of the most important parts of vehicle maintenance. Fresh motor oil keeps your engine lubricated, reduces wear, absorbs heat, and helps remove dirt and debris. A new filter ensures contaminants don’t circulate back into the engine, keeping your car running at peak performance. 

If you’ve been searching for a car oil change service, oil filter near me, or a mobile oil and filter change near me, you can book a professional mechanic to handle the job quickly and efficiently. Here’s what you can expect when getting an oil and filter change:

Oil and Filter Assessment

When you book a car oil change service, the mechanic will first inspect your vehicle before draining the old engine oil and replacing the filter. This process starts with warming up the motor oil, then lifting the vehicle to locate the drain plug. An oil pan is placed underneath to safely drain out the used oil, preparing your car for fresh lubrication. This step is essential if you’re searching for a change oil and filter near me or a mobile oil and filter change near me, as the inspection ensures everything is in working order before the replacement begins.

Oil and Filter Replacement

Once the old engine oil is fully drained, the mechanic will remove the used filter with a wrench. To prevent leaks, a small amount of fresh oil is applied to the gasket before fitting the new filter securely. The mechanic then adds the correct grade and quantity of engine oil using a funnel for precision. Whether you’re booking a mobile oil and filter change or visiting a workshop for an oil filter near me, this step ensures your engine runs smoothly with clean lubrication.

Final Inspection and Testing

After fitting the new oil and filter, the mechanic will start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This helps confirm that the oil is circulating properly and that there are no leaks around the drain plug or filter. Finally, they will use a dipstick to check the oil level and make sure it matches the correct reading. If you’ve been looking for a reliable oil change and filter near me, this final step gives peace of mind that your car’s engine is protected and operating at its best.
