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.

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.
|
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
|
I do it myself for about $48, costs me about $45 for the oil and the rest for the filter (I get bulk rates).
|
what do you guys do with the oil tho
im perfectly capable of changing it myself but i have no way to dispose of the oil and to the op just buy the oil and filter on your own. 30$ 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
|
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

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 |
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
|
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.
