Oil Changes in Lubbock, TX
It’s that time again. Hopefully you realized your oil needed changed by following your vehicle maintenance schedule. Otherwise, there could be a burning oil smell if your car is low on oil or is months behind on a replacement. McWhorter’s team of ASE certified mechanics routinely change oil for foreign and domestic cars, SUV’s and trucks.
Choose McWhorter for Your Next Oil Change
McWhorter has four convenient retail locations in Lubbock and Levelland that provide comprehensive oil change service. Unlike other auto repair shops in town, McWhorter provides tire, wheel and mechanical service all under one roof, allowing you to get on with your day.
Needing an oil change? Why not get scheduled maintenance from ASE certified technicians and have everything checked at once? Don’t make multiple trips to different mechanics. McWhorter also offers certified state inspections, and tracks all vehicle maintenance.
We can remind you the next time your vehicle is due for an oil change, specific to your vehicle brand, model and year. Many other oil stations default to 2500 miles so you come in the door more often, although most new vehicles don’t require an oil change for 7,500 miles or more. We always check and recommend your next oil change based on the vehicle owners manual.
Oil Change, Lube & Filter
Changing the oil often feels like a hassle, but it’s a great time to check many other systems and confirm a vehicle is operating effectively. That’s the difference between McWhorter and other options in town. We offer one convenient price that covers everything related to a normal oil change combined with lube and filter checks that prevent future vehicle breakdowns. On top of our comprehensive service, all of our work is backed by a double warranty from Goodyear and NAPA.

Choose Your Oil Brand
Back in the days of a V8, American muscle car, the brand of oil was an important consideration in engine performance. Nowadays, most drivers don’t worry about oil and in the modern engine, oil brand is less important to fuel efficiency and performance.
For our standard oil change, McWhorter uses a synthetic blend of Mobil oil. Other mechanics may charge less for an oil change, but they will likely use conventional oil vs. synthetic. Mobil products, including Mobil 1 are known to be reliable in all conditions.
For an extra charge, McWhorter offers Pennzoil, Valvoline, Quaker State and other brands if you have a preference. Our mechanics can even change the oil on most performance cars, although the manufacturer typically recommends premium, full synthetic oil which is at a higher cost.
