88 dollars wth! enough said...how hard is it to change ur own damn..my fault 4 bein lazy

 

Its easier than opening your door.

use the SEARCH button and look at the HOW TO on it

 

dealer oil changes are a ******* scam... there's no reason why ANYONE can't change their own oil, it's a piece of cake, and you know it was done right... plus you don't pay 88 dolars.

 

easiest oil change i've ever done

 

all you ahve to do is unscrew ONE bolt, and the oil comes out... once it's out, put the bolt back in, don't overtighten it, and you're done with that... take out the filter, put the new filter, and dump the oil in...

that 88 was for synthetic i hope...

 

It's really easy to change your own. The hardest part is the filter because it's a pain in the ass to get to, but even that's not too tough. It's worth changing your own though because you know it was done right and you can save yourself a fortune.

 

Wow! thats expensive,you could have bought a cheap ******* for that.lol

 

yea its not that hard t o change man

 

Only problem is, what if you don't have a place to do it or a way to get rid of the waste oil?

 

You can do it in the middle of the street if you want, I did it once sideways on a hill in my apt lot (not too smart, but I didn't care)
And most parts stores will take used oil.

 

Its safe to poor oil right into the lawn. It makes a good fertilizer.

 

The only reason oil changes are so expensive is because of the Synthetic Oil. Basic Oil changes are usually 20 bucks or so, just like a sears or jiffy lube.

 

i do it in the parking lot of my apartment building... you don't really need a place to do it, you can do it wherever the car is..

 

Kills weeds too!

 

5-30 Mobil1 = ~$4.75 Qt. * 6 = $28.50
2-pack AC Delco oil filters = ~$11

Just about 40 bucks to do your own oil change assuming you have all the right tools. $40 beats $80 any day, and its really easy to do.

 

Wal-mart $40 for the synthetic service! But I watch em' like a hawk and I pull the car in and out of the bay.

 

my dealer charges $20-30 i believe

definitely not worth my hassles
plus they fill up the brake fluid, coolant, washer fluid.... and do a 50 point inspection or somethin

why would i change my own oil for that price?

 

I got a card that they will do all oil changes for the next 4 years, so that was an added bonus.

 

Yeah, all of my oil changes are free for the next hundred thousand miles or so

 

Damn I guess those things do nullify the need to do your own changes. lol

I guess the only reason I'd still do my own is to avoid stuff like them forgetting to put the oil cap back on, not putting any oil in the engine, or generally just screwing something up.

Wal-Mart once forgot to put the oil cap on the g/fs car and she ended up with oil all over her engine bay and luckily no major damage. Things like that make me want to keep doing it myself.
