With summer approaching and school letting out, it's the perfect time to get ready for upcoming vacations and road trips. Prioritizing car maintenance tasks is essential to make sure your vehicle is in top shape for all your adventures. Take advantage of oil change coupons to keep your car running smoothly. While not all maintenance tasks come with discounts, you can always count on finding great deals when it’s time for an oil change.
According to Meineke, regular oil changes keep the engine lubricated, cool engine components, remove engine wear particles and sludge, improve gas mileage (YES, please!), and promote vehicle longevity.
This May, make a commitment to securing the best oil change coupons and savings available — it’s a smart move, especially if you have plans for more miles on the road!

1. Look for "Free Oil Change With Test Drive" offers at car dealerships.
Dealers run offers like "free oil change with test drive" all the time. Here's how it works — there's usually a make and model of a car or truck they want you to test drive (sometimes not, though!).
You agree to drive it, and then the dealer will credit you an amount up to about $35 toward an oil change at the dealership.
It may or may not be enough to cover the cost of an oil change, but it's still free money!

2. Always use oil change coupons.
Before you get an oil change, search for oil change coupons for your area. Choose where to get your oil changed based on who has the best coupons. Coupons come as either a dollar-off amount (like $7 off an oil change) or as a discounted oil change price (like "Get a $24.99 oil change").

3. Use a Groupon oil change coupon and save up to 50%.
If one of the above oil change coupons doesn't get you excited, check out Groupon. Groupon oil change offers vary based on your area. Deals can be up to 50% off, but make sure you look and see how many quarts it includes. Anything over the listed amount will be an extra fee. Here are some offers we've seen before:
Jiffy Lube Conventional Oil Change, $24.99 (valued at $49.99)
Midas Oil Change, $44.99 (valued at $79)
Valvoline Instant Oil Change, $29.99
Pit Stop Oil Change, $26
4. Get a Walmart oil change for as low as $24.88.
Walmart has many oil change services, and it can get overwhelming and confusing trying to pick out which one to choose. Unfortunately, Walmart doesn't offer any oil change coupons.
If your vehicle only needs five quarts of conventional oil, you can get the Pit Crew oil change for $24.88. A standard oil change is $34.88, and a premium full synthetic oil change is $54.88.
5. Does Costco do oil changes?
Nope! Costco may have an auto center, but they don't perform any oil changes. If you're a Costco member, you can get 15% off your oil change at participating dealerships.
Visit Costco.com and enter your member number and car make to see which dealership offers this discount.
Granted, oil changes at dealerships tend to be more expensive than they are at Walmart, but some newer cars are so computerized that they might require a dealer to change your oil.
TIP: Look for specials at your car dealership, too! My dealership offers three oil changes, tire rotations, and car washes for $90. This comes out to $30 per service, which can be cheaper than Jiffy Lube.
6. Don't get your oil changed every 3,000 miles.
Years and years ago, cars needed to get their oil changed every 3,000 miles. But with new car engine technology, it's not as necessary.
The thing is — your mechanic probably doesn't want you to know this. They'd be happy to see you (and your money!) every 3,000 miles.
Check your owner's manual for your car to find out how long you can go. Most newer cars can go at least 7,500 miles.
7. DIY oil change? Buy motor oil on Amazon or Walmart.
Amazon makes their own brand of motor oil, which is similar to brands like Pennzoil, Castor, and Mobil, and is often slightly cheaper.
Pennzoil at Walmart: $5.29/quart
AmazonBasics at Amazon: $7.57/quart
8. Take advantage of courtesy fluid top-offs.
Many places like Jiffy Lube offer courtesy fluid top-offs between oil changes. When you get your oil changed, be sure to ask about these features. I go through windshield wiper fluid like no one's business, so I take full advantage of all the free top-offs.
