How much do you pay for an oil change?

I change the oil in both my GT and my wife's car. I let the quickie guys do my DD beater.

I imagine with the price of petrol back home, the price of an oil change is the least of your worries. I'm from Kent originally.

Hows your insurance??

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

$15
Motorcraft oil and Filter from Wal-Mart.
Changed in my garage in under 15 minutes, from pull up onto the ramps to clean up.

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........

So, this thread is 2009 old.

What's an oil change cost now? Include the cost of the beer.

Bullitt347 · Sep 17, 2024

I have never paid for someone to do an oil change in over 40 years.
I did pay for an alignment once.

What do your supplies and beer cost you now?

LILCBRA · Sep 17, 2024

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)

Noobz347 · Sep 17, 2024

Racecars run on beer. People don't realize.

Well, when you refuse to do business with Walmart, things are going to cost more.
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.

Noobz347 · Sep 18, 2024

Hey!

Did you work in the industry?

I thought I recognized you.

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.

In my case, I don't think I recognize you.

How much do you pay for an oil change?
