A Take 5 oil change costs $45 to $105 in 2026
Take 5 Oil Change does not list a set price online because it changes by store, car and oil type. Reported 2026 prices run about $45 to $60 for conventional oil, $55 to $80 for a synthetic blend and $70 to $95 for full synthetic. NerdWallet's survey of chain prices put Take 5 at $50 to $105 from conventional to full synthetic before coupons, and CorWheels listed $49.99 for a standard oil change and $79.99 for full synthetic. Take 5's own page says the oil filter is included and the main thing that moves the price is how many quarts your engine takes. You stay in your car and the service takes about 10 minutes.

Why this costs more in 2026
Shop labor now runs about $100 to $250 an hour. Many car parts are imported, and freight costs went up after the oil shock that began with the Iran war in February 2026. Steel, copper, aluminum and resin prices are up too, and they go into almost every part. Oil, filters, brake parts and tires all ship a long way, so chain prices moved up with freight in 2026.
