Changed my oil....
Changed my oil this weekend, but i figured id call greenway ford and see how much they wanted for an oil change ($85.00) same syn-blend oil i spent ($20.00) @ walmart and about 45 min. (had to jack up the car to get underneath it and cleaned the underside of the motor while the oil was draining out). Anyhow this is what i used (oil is oil).

85 bucks for an oil change...when i took my car to the stealership back when i first got the car (8 years ago) i was only charged 30-35 bucks.
|
That's why I change the oil myself.
|
Lol...I will never in my life take any of my cars to ANYONE for an oil change.
|
just dont forget to remove the old gasket from the old filter, LOL.
|
The guy must have mis-understood you... oil changes are like 20-30 bucks. Usually I change mine but last summer I took it in after I moved states.. it was like 30 or close to that
|
Much cheaper....and rewarding....to do it yourself. Takes me about 20 minutes and I know I have good oil going thru er' instead of recycled wal-mart bs.
|
I always take mine to the Dealership.It's only like $20 and it's worth it to me.I would'nt take my lawnmower to Wal Mart for a oil change though.

but to the original post, taking your car somewhere for an oil change seems like such a waste of money with the price they charge. doing it yourself is well worth the fifteen twenty minutes. unless you are physically unable to i don't see why anyone would |
Also change it myself. Not only is it cheaper, you know the job is done right.

The oil changes for my Audi were ridiculous. 8 quarts of Mobil 1 0W-40, a $30 filter, and they charged 1 hour of labor ($115.) And oil change places weren't that much cheaper, since they charge extra for cars that have belly pans (which mine has.) Hence why I started doing it myself :)

SOOO much cheaper to do it myself. I can get two OEM filters online for less than the price of one "dealer" filter.
