Sales by oil change and lubrication shops in the United States reached $6.3 billion in 2018, up 4 percent from 2017, according to a report jointly published by the Auto Care Association and the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association.

The average price this year for an oil change using five quarts of semi-synthetic oil rose 11.4 percent to just under $48 this year, while the cost for one with full synthetic oil dipped to just over $74, according to results from National Oil & Lube News survey of quick-lube operators.

ExxonMobil invested in a startup company offering on-demand fuel delivery and mobile vehicle car care service - including oil changes - to help carve out a new sales channel for its products.
