I have a 2020 Mitsubishi outlander that I bought used in January and am looking now of getting a oil change done after driving about 3600 miles over the past 11 or so months. This is going to sound crazy but I have not paid for a oil change for a few years, in fact the last time I paid for one was …

I do my own for about $30 but I think in 50 years I’ve only had the dealer do it about three times. Seems to me $70 and $50 but people are paid more now. The Acura dealer has a drive in no appointment quick change so takes on the quick change folks head on. Don’t worry about a fair price once a y…

[image] bing: Shop quality not price Yes! When the cheap oil changes at the quickie places goes wrong if they strip your oil pan plug ($500), forget to put the fresh oil ($7000) in or double gasket the filter ($7000).

The dealership that I use charges $90 for a full-synthetic oil change, but that fee includes tire rotation and a bunch of inspections. I guess that “just” a synthetic oil change would probably be ~$75.

$100 seems a little more than I’d expect, but not by much. If you can get it done at a well-recommended inde shop for about the same, that’s better. Then you’ll have a shop to go to when the car needs other services or repairs.

While you’re under warranty, the best price you can find from a dealer is the “Best Price”. If the engine explodes, the additional cost of no warranty hassles will look like a great bargain. After warranty, regular old changes and vehicle inspections by a competent Independent Mechanic will be t…

In my part of the world, I can get a full synthetic oil change and tire rotation for the $80-90 range. This is both at Walmart, and/or a local independent mechanic.

That’s interesting. Apparently my Lexus dealer charges the same price as Wallyworld.

[image] Cavell: I guess $30 deals are long gone. When I was a high school kid in 1986 and working at the corner Chevron station, a standard lube, oil, filter was $28.90 plus tax. Yeah, I guess the $30 oil change is long gone.

I have never paid more that $75 for a full synthetic oil chang at my Toyota Dealer and they use a Toyota filter and either Toyota or Mobile 1 oil. The also have a nice waiting room with free coffee and cookies. My last one was $62 with a coupon from their website.

Good thing you don’t own a Bugatti. If you did, changing the oil would cost you between $20,000 and $25,000.
