Mobil1 on sale at 3.99 qt. awhile back as well as Mobil1 filters. Bought 8 cases and 4 filters. You can find time to time a case of 6 mMobil1 filters on Ebay for $42 for 6.

$232 for all. $38 an oil change for Mobil1 synthetic.
and can do 6 changes.

Pennzoil Platinum was on sale too..Great stuff.

Believe Murrays/O'Reillys has buy 5 get 1 free Mobil1.

Easier oil change than my 02 T/A.

P.S. Just make sure you get a huge oil pan...or plan on reinserting the drainplug halfway through!

$65 after taxes for Mobil 1

Seems like I got a deal compared what some of you guys are paying. That was an oil change only. No other fluids. I don't think anything other than the washer fluid would have needed to be topped off.

Next time I take it in will be for Maintenance I

What does your owners manual state is the viscosity and blend of oil? Use that, that's how the engine was designed. How long is the oil change interval.

If you change it yourself ???

I noticed in this thread that some of you changed the oil yourself. Several years ago my husband stopped doin' ours because he had no where to get rid of the used oil.

So...the question is: Where/how do you get rid of the oil if you change it yourself?

THANKS !!!
