Dealer charged me $90 for an oil change! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Is this normal? $15 for labor $70 for oil (what kind of oil can be that expensive), this sounds crazy to me... I didn't complain too much because they agreed to change the blower motor on warranty even though they couldn't actually hear the squeaking noise I was complaining about. But seriously...

RSokie · 04-13-2011, 11:48 AM

Dang that sounds a little steep

The Stig · 04-13-2011, 11:49 AM

Yup that normal. The camaro takes 6 quarts of synthetic oil. Stuff gets expensive.

2010SLVRBULIT · 04-13-2011, 11:49 AM

sounds about right, looks like you got a discount on the labor too

DIY will save you about 1/2.

Synthetic oil? I bought 8 Quarts of Mobil 1 Synthetic for like 60 I believe a few weeks ago

Well, seeing as how your car has Mobil 1 fully synthetic AND it takes 9 quarts, I don't see the problem here.

garcmol · 04-13-2011, 11:51 AM

Here too. My Vette is $89.99 at the dealer. Mobil 1 synthetic

My 5th · 04-13-2011, 11:52 AM

I just paid ~$80 for an oil change at Express Lube. 8 quarts of Mobile 1 aren't cheap.

sounds about right....

enVader · 04-13-2011, 11:54 AM

WOW I'm glad I got free oil changes with my Camaro

cab2g · 04-13-2011, 11:56 AM

Yep, that's the right price. I paid $80 last week. $67 for oil $5 for the filter, and the rest was taxes. They didn't charge extra for labor.

You're probably paying for it some way, nothing's free!
