    Your trusted team for a Holden oil change

    Car dashboard

    Although Holdens are no longer being made, these cars are still an iconic part of Australian history. Whether your Holden is your daily drive or a beloved collectible, you'll want to ensure that its oil is in top shape so it stays in the best shape possible. The good news is that your local mycar team can assist with any servicing needs you may have, regardless of whether you've got a Commodore, Astra, Colorado or anything in-between.

    Why you need a regular oil change for your Holden

    Most Holden vehicles are known for their reliability, but that doesn't mean they're indestructible. While Holdens will happily deal with years of daily use, and many of their utes will move a literal ton with no issues, you still need to service your Holden regularly if you want it to go the distance. That's why we offer both our Essential and Essential Plus servicing packages, so you can select the right level of care for your car, at a great price. Both servicing packages include all your basics and a safety check, and the Essential Plus option even comes with 12 months free roadside assistance.

    How much does a Holden oil change cost?

    Depending on the type of Holden you own, you can expect an oil change to cost from a couple of hundred dollars and up. At mycar we offer fixed price servicing starting from $269 and you'll never pay more than what you're quoted upfront. We also do standalone oil changes that range from around $150 to $200.

    Oil change not in this month’s budget? No worries. We offer flexible payment via Zip Pay and Afterpay, so you can still look after your Holden when it needs it most.

    Knowing when to change engine oil soon in your Holden

    Most newer Holden vehicles will let you know when they need a service via their on-board computer. Other common signs it's time to change your oil include decreased performance, excessive fuel consumption and smoke coming from the tailpipe.

    If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to bring your car into mycar for diagnostics and an oil change. Running your Holden on dirty oil can mean reduced fuel efficiency, damage to engine parts, and overheating.

    Do Holdens need special oil?

    Newer Holdens generally take 5W-30 fully synthetic oil, which is readily available and not considered a special oil. Older models tend to use mineral oil which was used in cars before synthetic oils, but these are still easy to come by. So, if you're a new owner booking your Holden’s first oil change, you don’t need to worry about hunting around when it comes to oil. Just check your owner’s manual to be sure, or ask your local mycar mechanic who will be happy to steer you in the right direction.

    What oil does Holden recommend?

    Because the Holden brand has such a long and rich history it’s hard to say what kind of oil is best without getting into the specifics of years and models. As noted above, most newer Holden vehicles will want a fully synthetic oil (with 5W-30 being a commonly preferred grade) while older models may prefer mineral. Your mycar servicing expert will be able to advise you on which oil is best for your Holden when you book your service.
