has anyone in the Chicagoland area found (or has) a place for cheap (or cheaper) MOBIL 1 oil changes? NW burbs preferrable. She is almost ready for her 1st change and I know they are pricey. Biggers Chevy in Elgin (can I say that?) wants $85.... yikes! I found another place for $60-65.
What are you guys paying?

 

In California Wal-Mart does it for $39 and you can sit there and watch them if you dont trust them.

 

got mine done for 44 bucks in milwaukee but i know how IL likes to charge higher for everything....

 

Do it yourself That way you know it's right.

 

x2.... plus, it's easy, and you save like half of your money...

 

85 bucks will get you oil ($30-40 for 6 quarts, depending on where you shop), filter ($10), ramps ($20), a socket wrench with a 1 1/4 inch socket ($10), and an oil pan ($5). So for about the same price of a dealer oil change, you can get all the equipment and materials to do your own change, with a price of about 40 bucks a change thereafter.

If you're worried about warranty issues, just make sure to save your oil and filter receipts, and mark the service record at the back of your owner's manual.

 

I agree hypsy.... but, I do not have a place at this point to do that myself. We plan on moving in the spring... when I get the 2 car garage set up I will do it myself.
well maybe not >>> I took ALLSHOT's advice and the WAL-MART in Rolling Meadows does them for 39.99.

 

^Do it in your driveway! I vote doing your own rather than bringing it somewhere....but hell I'll take any excuse to get under the hood of my car...

 

Get your ass over here then. You buy the supplies and buy me a 6 pack and I'll do it on a day off. I got everything needed toolwise here.

 

OK hypsy where are you? I'll buy you a 6 of whatever you like!!!
It all depends on where you are, and if that don't work out.... we meet and have a brew on me anyways!!

Also to everyone.... if you go to:
http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...1_Rewards.aspx

When you enroll in the Mobil 1 Rewards program, every time you purchase an oil change or a total of six quarts (a case) of Mobil 1, Mobil 1 Extended Performance, or Mobil 1 motorcycle oil, you'll be earning rewards that can be redeemed for Mobil 1 merchandise or a GiftCertificates.com Super Certificate.

ya'll need the oil.... you might as well get some perks!

 

I'm in Fox River Grove, up near Barrington and Cary.

 

I'm in Bartlett.... 30 mins away roughly..... that works for me!
I'd probably wait longer at the dumb WALMART
what do you like better a weekend or weeknight?
I have 2200 miles..... oil life reads 70% remaining
does that mean I can go longer than 3000 miles?
sounds like it. I never had an in-car oil life advisor!

I can give you my cel or work# if you really are up for this!
I would understand.... if you did not really want to do this

I have no problems getting you a 6pack and we could grab a burger
afterwards on me!

 

I work the next 4 days and then start school Monday so I don't know exactly when I could do it. If you have 70% of the oil life left then you got some time. I go 5K between my changes on Mobil 1.

 

if you use mobil 1 and change your oil every 3,000 miles, you're wasting your money... change it now at 2200 or whatever, then reset the monitor and change it when it gets down to 10% or so...

 

5K sounds more reasonable for MOBIL 1 changes. Let's stay intouch Hypsy and if you can fit me in when I get up around 5K we'll do it..... otherwise, hello WALMART

thanks to everyone for their input!

 

I'll fit you in. LOL. If anyone else wants oil changes or other basic tune-up stuff, let me know. I'm more than willing to help out....and I'm cheap too in most cases.

 

Get mine done for 20 bucks in my garage! Oil is 4.00 a quart and buy it by the case at Walmart!

 

4x6 = 24
10x1 = 10

24+10 = 34

how does this eequate t 20$ unless you are only using 2.5 quarts of oil lol. :-)

 

CHIPMUNK are you an accountant? LMAO .... I did'nt do the math..... M-DUB must have rebate coupons or something? I want $20 mobil 1 changes...

 

no **** i want 20$ changed too!... unless he works for a jiffy lube or something like that and gets the oil and filters dirt cheap.

 

Firestone charges me 14.95 for my oil changes....Its not synthetic but its 14.95 hehe

 

supercharged? otherwise you are fine without the synthetic. but I would look to see what brand of oil they are using. If they are using some cheapy no name brand, upgrade. If you are supercharged, CHANGE YOUR OIL NOW. Put synthetic in like it was intented...

 

I get my oil changed for FREE from my dealer. And yes, with synthetic oil.
