Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of your car's engine, helping them work efficiently during the combustion process. It then passes through the oil filter which traps any bits of metal, dirt or dust particles floating in the oil. This keeps the oil as clean and efficient as possible.
Over time, oil becomes dirty and the oil filter becomes clogged. If you don’t change them regularly, your engine will suffer performance issues.
An oil change is a cost-effective way to keep these parts in top condition. A mechanic will fully drain and refill your engine oil and replace the dirty oil filter during the service. It’s a simple service and that’s why an oil change is much more affordable than a full service.
There are thousands of UK garages listed on our comparison site, so it's easy to find the perfect one for your vehicle. Just enter your reg and postcode to compare instant oil change prices & book the best in deal in just a few clicks.

If you struggle to find time to take your vehicle into a local garage for its maintenance needs, consider booking an appointment with a local mobile mechanic this year. They come and complete the work at a time and place that best suits your schedule.
Here are some of the ways a mobile oil change can make your life easier:
Convenience - Rather than having to find time to take your car to a garage and then trying to keep your life on track without it, you can have your oil and filter change completed at a location that works best for you. This could be your driveway or a car park at work during your normal day. This helps you avoid disruption.
Flexibility - You may be able to book a mobile oil change on a weekend, evening or even overnight, depending on the mobile mechanics in your area. If your schedule doesn’t really accommodate servicing at a traditional garage, this can make your life easier.
Transparency - You get to see what is happening during your mobile oil change at all times. This makes it easier to trust the quality of the work and gives you the peace of mind that all the checks have been completed to the highest standard.
Cheaper - A mobile oil change involves less overhead costs and expenses, so they are often at least competitively priced against, if not cheaper than most local garages.
You may experience several problems if you neglect regular oil and filter changes:
Booking an oil change at regular intervals will help keep your car in good condition and help to avoid many of the problems mentioned above.
