At Mechanic Bournemouth, our oil and filter change isn’t just a quick drain and refill. Every appointment includes a thorough, systematic process to make sure your engine is properly protected and performing at its best. Here’s exactly what’s covered every time you book with us:
Engine Oil Level & Condition Check
Before we begin, our mechanics inspect your current oil level and condition, identifying any signs of contamination, burning, or leaks that may indicate a wider engine issue.
Full Drain of Old Engine Oil
We fully drain the old, degraded engine oil from your vehicle, ensuring no contaminated oil remains in the system before we refill with fresh, clean oil suited to your engine’s specifications.
Oil Filter Replacement
Every oil and filter change includes fitting a brand-new, manufacturer-grade oil filter. Replacing the filter alongside the oil ensures your clean oil stays clean free from metal particles, sludge, and debris.
Fresh Engine Oil Refill to Correct Grade
We refill your engine with the correct grade and quantity of engine oil as specified by your vehicle manufacturer whether that’s fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, or mineral oil.
Post-Change Check & Service Record Update
Once complete, we carry out a final check to confirm oil levels are correct, there are no leaks, and your vehicle is ready to drive. We also update your service record so you have a clear log of maintenance history.

We are not just another garage. Mechanic Bournemouth is a locally run, customer-focused workshop that takes pride in doing the job properly. Here is why hundreds of Bournemouth drivers trust us with their oil and filter change:
Most manufacturers recommend an oil and filter change every 6,000 to 10,000 miles, or once a year, whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on your car's make, model, engine type, and the grade of oil used. Our mechanics can advise you on the ideal interval for your specific vehicle.
Our oil and filter change includes draining the old engine oil, fitting a new manufacturer-grade oil filter, refilling with the correct grade and quantity of fresh engine oil, a post-change inspection for leaks, and a service record update. There are no hidden extras, what we quote is what you pay.
In most cases, a standard oil and filter change takes between 30 and 60 minutes. We aim to minimise your waiting time and can often accommodate same-day appointments. Book online or call us to check availability.

Yes — significantly. Fresh engine oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, prevents overheating, and removes harmful deposits. A new oil filter keeps that clean oil free from contaminants. Together, a regular oil filter and oil change is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend your engine's lifespan and avoid expensive repairs down the line.
Yes. We carry out oil and filter changes on all makes and models, including petrol and diesel vehicles. Whether you drive a Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Toyota, Audi, Vauxhall, or any other brand, our team has the knowledge and parts to complete the job correctly.
We use fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, or mineral engine oil depending on what your vehicle manufacturer specifies. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach — the correct oil grade is matched to your car's engine for optimal protection and performance.
Driving with old or low engine oil is one of the most damaging things you can do to your car. Degraded oil loses its lubricating properties and can cause excessive engine wear, overheating, and in serious cases, complete engine failure. If your oil warning light is on or you cannot remember your last oil change, contact us as soon as possible.
