ah well. think of it as 8 PSL's

Mine is more than that! The guy gives me his employee discount though b/c my mom used to work there, but it’s still expensive.

My dad made all of us learn how to change the oil, tires, and headlights. I still pay to have it done lol that's dirty work

I paid 65 last time, but they rotate tires, change fluids, vacuum etc.

I found it worth it

I pay about $160 for my synthetic oil change.

I change oil in trucks and tractors all the time.

You should have seen the way all my coworkers changed oil back when I did that job. They wouldn’t lock the lift like you're supposed to, and then they would get underneath the multi-ton vehicle without the proper safety mechanism.

One of them once had to dodge a piece of the lift falling because he didn't lock it. Cried because it scared him so much, went home, then came back the next day and did things the exact same way without locking the lift before getting under the car.

I'm surprised they haven't all been Final Destination'd.

I just paid $150 for one the other day...but they also did change 2 bulbs in the back which were burnt out...not that that's a costly expense but it was nice they did it. The oil itself costs about $70 because it's some some special synthetic oil my dumb car needs.

where are you going for an oil change the dealer? the quick lube places around me aren't charging more than $40

If you did do your own oil change, would you be wearing a cut off t-shirt and daisy dukes or is that just me. 🤔

I used to change mine all the time. Seems like car manufacturers have now decided to put the filter in a place only mechanics can get to it

BrandNewMan · 61-69, M

Ain't it the truth? I do my own unless the vehicle is in the shop for something else anyway.

Honestly - even if you do it yourself, buying the good quality oil can be more than half that cost.

I did mine once.... and ONLY once - all the fucking around under the car was worth the bit extra just to pay someone to do it.

Here an oil change is like $150 - $250 ...its bullshit how expensive everything is😡
