Thanks for the warning. I went there for an oil change once. It only cost $30, so I was thinking I would go back, but now I'm not so sure. 4951

Most of the other places I've been charge $45-50. Do you know of a place that charges less?
Thanks. 4951

With coupons, I can always get my small SUVs oil changed for under $30 with coupon (that does not include filter, though ). 4951

Walmart has 5 qt jugs for like $23, buy 2 then next oil change just need to buy 1 because I still have 3 qts left, next time buy 5 qt jug plus 1 qt. etc. any good lube place should change your oil with your supplied oil. Heck I've seen the mobil1 5qt jugs as cheap as $15, advanced auto always runs online discounts, buy online and pickup in store. 4951

Mobil 1 synthetics runs about 40-50 a case, larger v8 that takes 6 quarts, then cost of filter.  So yeah right at $80.  Royal Purple runs about the same as well.  I refuse to use any cheap oil. My last truck had almost 300k miles and still a super clean engine when i traded her in.  Used Mobil One from 50 miles. 4951

I only change my oil about every 5k to 10k miles and its clean coming out each time.  Also keeps the engine running smoother than regular oil. 4951

If you have a hi miler be careful with synthetics. Typically once you cross over it's ill advised to return to conventionals.
 
IMO a regular oil change works wonders regardless of the composition. 4951

@TXtransplant: Why is it ill advised to switch from conventional-synthetic-and back to conventional? 4951
