I'm in Iraq at the moment, but I think petrol is around 1 pound per liter.
I'm a yank so I get gas on base as much as possible, insurance I'm paying about 320 US a month for 3 cars full coverage and property.
It's the first year of owable car tax for the Stang I'm not looking forward to since you get taxed on displacement for cars not in the register.

I Change my own Oil. for 2 reasons 1. It is Cheaper 2. THe oil is actually getting changed! LMFAO That is one of the biggest scams in the world .. Them Not changing your oil, not doing the work etc, I took my car one time to get an alignment and they didn't even touch it at all.. I still had to pay for it though because I couldn't take my car out without paying for it! Thing pulled hard to the left still like it did when I brought it in after I had changed out the Tie rod ends. guy tried to tell me it was my tires. LMFAO yea right after the 5 miles I drove up here I wore my tires unevenly!!! F&Ckin joke is what that crap is.... everything is a Scam Now adays

Changing oil is fun and a good excuse to drink beer, why would I let someone
else do it....... and it comes in handy living 1 block from Autozone........

This won't be exactly what you're looking for, but the last invoice I have is for 3 Wix filters and 4 - 5 quart jugs of synthetic, total was ~$144. DIvide that by 3 (the number of filters....) and it comes to ~$48 per filter. For what it's worth I have left over oil since my truck takes 7 quarts, so my next purchase will be lower per filter. If I average one 5 quart jug with 1 filter, it comes to ~$36.48. I don't drink so there's no beer budget.

In some circles, this could be considered cheating.
5 qt jug of Quaker state and a Filter = $27 bucks from Walmart.
12 Pack of Banquets = $14 bucks
Incidentals , add +/- $10
Grand Total = $ 51 bucks

$35-65 depending on the vehicle.
Focus takes 4.5 qrts
F250 takes 6 qrts
Suburban takes 8 qrts
Race car is a whole different matter. (more beer involved when doing the racecar)

Stark difference already.
Well, when you refuse to do business with Walmart, things are going to cost more.Stark difference already.
And I have no problem with that.
2002 Coyote Mustang $114 synthetic
2014 Tacoma $52 synthetic
1965 Cobra $62 dinosaur
2020 BMW $85 synthetic
All get done about once a year, Tacoma maybe twice. Been doing my own service work since high school...now retired. Yes, I worked in the industry.

I guess we all have to be so specific these days due to the misunderstanding of individuals who for some reason, can't or don't understand when someone in a "specific" forum mentions what their profession was without actually saying it, so, yes I did work in the automotive/heavy equipment industry. Not to be confused with the City of Industry.Hey!
Did you work in the industry?
I thought I recognized you.
In my case, I don't think I recognize you.
