How much do you pay for a oil change???
 
I have a 2007 LSJ that I got 2 weeks ago, I went to wal-mart to get my oil changed and they said they could not do it. I asked why, they said because the oil filter is under the supercharger and they wont touch it. So that suck's... So I called my Chevy dealer ask them how much they did it for? The guy tells me $66 bucks, its $10 bucks more than wal-mart. So I went for it they got done about an hour later got my bill and it was $90.04!!!
$66.00 oil change, $16.00 labor, and $8.04 TAX. So my question is, Is that normal? or did I get screwed? I know taking it to the dealer would be more but that's a little much, and the reason I don't do it myself is I live in a apartment complex in Arizona, Its hot and I dont have the room in my parking spot.

I pay around 40 somethin for mobil1. I used to pay more for royal purple but I do it myself though

whats thats insane, mobil 1 5-30 synthetic is $22 for 5qt plus 4.74 for the extra qt, and then on Amazon.com K&N oil filter is 5.97. takes me 30 minutes tops. All i use the 1-1/2 or1/4 socket and two small ramps to lift the card, with an oil pan and set. if you cant do it its ok, i would look around for other shops for sure though.

my mechanic is doing mine friday and he said its going to be like 50 bucks. i would do it......but i am lazy.....

on my T/C i spent about $38-40, 5 quarts of mobil 1 extended performance 5W30, 1 oil filter, and $4 for using a lift at my shop.

take the time and do it yourself man. cost me whatever the oil plus filter costs and about 20 minutes of my time. its cake.
as long as you have a parking spot that you park your car in you cant do it. the car over the ground should be enough shade to keep the ground cool, go in on a creeper youll be fine.

Just buy your own oil at wal-mart and take it to the dealer and just pay for their labor and filter it costs me about $20.00 or so.

Could I do that? I don't think that they would.

RooTBeeR 06-09-2010 11:14 PM

philipino guy 06-09-2010 11:16 PM

It is a piece of cake but I hate taking the oil somewhere to get rid of it.

its a bit more difficult to maneuver the filter in and out with the tvs tho

a bunch of retards work at walmart, they wouldn't put on new tires I bought because they need to put on oem equipment. and the tires weren't proved brand new. dumbasses.

_UnLiMiTeD_ 06-09-2010 11:45 PM

did you argue the dealership and tell them you were quoted $66 and thats all your going to pay? i would have refused to pay more, its not about the money, its the bs lie

denlou 06-09-2010 11:50 PM

I do it myself for about $48, costs me about $45 for the oil and the rest for the filter (I get bulk rates).

Supercharged06 06-10-2010 12:14 AM

what do you guys do with the oil tho
im perfectly capable of changing it myself but i have no way to dispose of the oil

and to the op just buy the oil and filter on your own. 30$ or so for 6qts and 5 or so for the filter then you just take it to the dealer and tell them to use the stuff you brought then you only gotta pay labor which is like 15$

Autozone or advance auto parts

blake05SS 06-10-2010 12:16 AM

just poor the used oil in your 5 quart jug the "big jug" and then just take it to a local disposal place when its in the jug its easy and a clean way to move it and dispose of it

Almost any shop or auto parts store will accept it. A lot of shops burn the used oil in the winter for heat.

^^^Steal depending on product

RedSS87 06-10-2010 12:41 AM

I pay about $45 for oil and $6 for a filter, then I brought it to the dealer after because I needed an alignment with my new springs anyways, and they charged me $25 to drop and fill the oil with my mobil 1 and replace the filter. GAYYYY

Break it down: $45+$6+$25= Over $80 with taxes
$45+$6+minimal hassel doing it urself=priceless lol

Just pour the old oil from the pan into the oil cans and there ya go

ryaan 06-10-2010 12:41 AM

a frat brother of mine, his father owns a tire shop. charged me like 20 for the oil change and 15 for the wipers, didnt ask any questions. receipt? nah.... lol

TheBlackPearl04 06-10-2010 12:45 AM

I take mine to the dealer that I have gotten my cars from for ALL the years. I pay $60 for the change, mobil synthetic, and the labor.
