Haven't changed my oil yet, but when I do it will be Mobil 1 just like in my Vette. Luckily I have access to a lift at my arent's house so I get to save on labor. A $110 oil change is crazy!

Raise the front of your car on ramps and DIY.
8qts of Mobil 1 and a Napa Gold filter is about $50.

I've got 2 years, which looks like it'll save me around $3-400.

If people would go by the OLM and then calculate the difference from the old school mentality of 3000-5000 mile changes or feel good oil changes, you would find that the cost difference isn't that far off from each other.

Mobil 1 8 quarts $48.10 ACDelco UPF48R filter $9.95 =$58.05+ tax= $62.69. Doing it myself and knowing it was done right= priceless.

VADR_H8R · 09-06-2011, 07:44 PM

I got my first 3 changes free..... why would anyone buy a $35,000+ car and not get at least 1 free oil change????

2010SLVRBULIT · 09-06-2011, 07:56 PM

Penzoil Full Synthetic + oil filter + DIY = $30
