Opinions on Take 5 oil change
I’ve been a few times, always worked out each time but I really like valvoline. I’ve been told a good bit it’s not the best place to go to. Go ahead with your experiences/opinions

All oil change places are rip-offs as they resell the same oil...

@SomeMichGuy yup heard that they just ran the old oil through a filter..

@Tatulover1 I don't think so.
What I was referring to is overcharging for everything, but especially rounding up the oil used to a full quart. If your oil change takes 4.4 qt, they sell you 5 qt.
If the next person's change takes 3.8 qt, they sell him 4 qt.
So they sold 9 qt but used 8.2 qt; they oversell by rounding up.
Or to think of it another way, they sold you not just the 4.4 qt you needed, but the 0.6 qt you didn't; that might be used on the next person--and RESOLD to them!
