Honest Oil Change Service Near You in Etobicoke

All-Type Transmission has been changing oil and rebuilding transmissions at 144 Sixteenth Street, Etobicoke, Ontario M8V 3K1 for over 20 years. Because our technicians spend their days inside gearboxes and engines, an oil change here is not a conveyor belt — we use the grade your manufacturer specifies, replace the drain plug gasket every time and tell you honestly what else your vehicle needs.

Toronto driving is hard on motor oil. Short trips never get the engine fully warm, stop-and-go traffic on the Gardiner and Lake Shore adds idling hours the odometer never records, and winter cold starts thicken oil exactly when your bearings need it to flow. Most manufacturers class that as severe service, which is why we recommend the shorter end of your interval and check your oil condition at every visit.

We serve Toronto, Etobicoke, Mimico, Mississauga, Long Branch, New Toronto, High Park and The Queensway — minutes from Lake Shore Boulevard West and the QEW. Need gearbox work as well? See our transmission repair and rebuild services.

  • Transmission, brake, power steering and coolant levels
  • Windshield washer fluid top-up

Signs You Need an Oil Change

Oil light or check engine light is on
Low oil pressure is the fastest way to destroy an engine. Stop driving and call us.
Dark, gritty oil on the dipstick
Fresh oil is amber and translucent. Black, thick oil has stopped protecting your bearings.
Engine ticking or knocking on start-up
Worn-out oil drains off components overnight, leaving metal to run dry for the first few seconds.
Burning oil smell in the cabin
Usually oil leaking onto a hot exhaust — worth an inspection before it becomes a fire risk.
You have passed your sticker interval
Toronto stop-and-go traffic and winter cold starts count as severe service. Do not stretch the interval.

How we perform an oil change

  1. Confirm the correct oil

    We look up your engine's required viscosity and oil standard and confirm the grade with you before starting.

  2. Drain the old oil

    The vehicle is lifted, the engine is brought to temperature and the old oil is fully drained through the sump plug.

  3. Replace filter and gasket

    A new oil filter is fitted and the drain plug gasket is replaced so the pan seals properly and does not weep.

  4. Refill to specification

    Fresh oil is added to the manufacturer's capacity and the level is verified on the dipstick with the engine warm.

  5. 60-point inspection

    We check the remaining fluids, belts, hoses, tires, battery and lights, then note anything that needs attention.

  6. Reset and record

    The oil life monitor is reset, a service sticker is applied and the work is recorded on your invoice.

Oil Change FAQ

How much does an oil change cost in Toronto?

At All-Type Transmission a conventional oil change starts at $49.99, a synthetic blend is $59.99 and a full synthetic oil change is $89.99. Every price includes up to 5 litres of oil, a new filter and a free 60-point inspection. Diesel and larger-capacity engines are quoted before we start the work.

How often should I change my oil?

Conventional oil should be changed every 5,000 km, synthetic blend every 8,000 km and full synthetic every 12,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Toronto driving — short trips, heavy traffic and cold winter starts — counts as severe service, so we recommend the shorter end of the manufacturer's range.

Do I need an appointment for an oil change?

No. Walk-ins are welcome at our Etobicoke shop at 144 Sixteenth Street during business hours, and most oil changes are finished in about 30 minutes. Calling ahead at +1 (416) 255-8118 means we can have your oil and filter ready before you arrive.

Is a full synthetic oil change worth the extra cost?

For turbocharged, direct-injection and European engines, yes — synthetic oil resists heat breakdown and flows far better at Canadian winter temperatures. Because the interval is roughly twice as long, the cost per kilometre often works out about the same as conventional oil.

Which oil change do I need for my car?

We follow your manufacturer's specification for viscosity and oil standard, then factor in mileage and how you drive. Bring your vehicle in and we will check the owner's requirement and recommend the correct grade before any work begins.

Do you change transmission fluid too?

Yes. Transmission work is our specialty — we have rebuilt and serviced automatic, manual and CVT transmissions in Etobicoke for over 20 years. We can change your engine oil and inspect or service your transmission fluid in the same visit.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Toronto, Etobicoke, Mimico, Long Branch, New Toronto, The Queensway, High Park and Mississauga from our shop at 144 Sixteenth Street, Etobicoke, minutes from Lake Shore Boulevard West and the QEW.
