An Express Oil Change costs about $40 to $100 in 2026
Express Oil Change and Tire Engineers does not post one national price, because stores are run by franchise owners. Guides put a conventional oil change at about $40 to $60 and full synthetic at about $70 to $100. One store's regular prices were $42.99 for conventional and $72.99 for full synthetic. Each price covers up to 5 quarts, a standard filter and a 20 point inspection.

The regular prices below come from a Groupon deal for one store in Peoria, Arizona, which listed each service at its full price before the discount. Other stores may charge a little more or less.

What changes your price
- The oil type. Full synthetic costs the most. Conventional costs the least.
- Extra quarts. The price covers up to 5 quarts. Cars and trucks that take more pay for each extra quart.
- The filter. A standard filter is included. A premium filter costs extra.
- Diesel and European cars. Express Oil says quarts may vary for these cars, so ask the store.
- Tax and a disposal fee. These are added to the menu price where they apply.
What the price includes
Express Oil says every oil change uses Valvoline oil, needs no appointment and takes about 10 minutes. The price covers up to 5 quarts, a standard filter and a free 20 point inspection, plus tax and a disposal fee if they apply.
The 5 quart limit matters. Many trucks, SUVs and some cars take 6 to 8 quarts, so the total can land well above the menu price. One CARFAX reviewer said a car that needed more oil was quoted $79.99 for full synthetic.
Coupons are common. SimplyCodes says full service oil change coupons are usually capped at $26 off, and synthetic oil changes often have their own coupon, like $15 off.

Express Oil compared with other quick lubes
Express Oil Change is part of the Driven Brands group and has most of its stores in the South. Its prices are close to the other big quick lube chains, and it also does brakes, tires and repairs at many stores.
The main thing to compare is what the price includes. Check how many quarts, which filter, and whether you stay in the car or wait inside. See our Valvoline, Jiffy Lube and Take 5 pages to compare.
How to judge the price you are quoted
- Ask how many quarts your car takes, and the price of each extra quart.
- Ask if the price includes the filter, tax and disposal fee.
- Say no to add ons you did not come for, like air filters, unless they are due.
- Compare with $40 to $60 for conventional or $70 to $100 for full synthetic.
Ways to pay less
- Check the offers page on the Express Oil website before you go.
- Look for a Groupon deal for your local store.
- Use the oil type your owner manual calls for. Do not pay for full synthetic if you do not need it.
- Ask if the store has a fleet or loyalty program.
