to get a tesla.
Had to get oil change done today from a dealer. Less than a year ago it was about $55. Today it was $84.50 for 6 quarts and a filter. WOW!!
I will want to find a cheaper place the next time or start doing them myself again.
What kind of prices does everyone else have for an oil change??
I always did my own oil changes on all three vehicles. I stopped when my job became more demanding in the last years, and I wanted that time to be spent on me doing the things I like to do.
The one thing I dislike doing is mechanic work. I can do it and knowledgeable enough to do maintenance and repairs, but I don't like the work.
I do believe I will start back up doing them though..
Hmmm. We have a Sam's that has a tire shop. I need to check to see if they do oil changes.Local Costco is $43.86. They only use synthetic.
Just a few cents under $70.00 at my local Valvoline Quick Change place. That's for 5 quarts with a coupon, and synthetic blend. More for full synthetic. I have never used full synthetic and wonder what benefits there are for using it. I have a new vehicle with now 122 miles on it; also one with 12,000 miles, and a 2002 with 178,000 miles. Thoughts?
I don't know. I've never had anyone else change my oil.
What does synth. oil cost by the quart or gallon jug these days? How about the filter? IIRC (back in the day) I could do a synth/with filter change for maybe $15. There were places (on the mainland) that took the used oil for free:
No way you could slide under my Challenger without jacking it up. It's low to the ground for a reason (improved airflow). The shield(s) under the car are for better air flow too as well as water/mud protection. The chocks and jack stands are for my protection and the cardboard is for my comfort. Any shade tree mechanic worth 2 cents will have lots and lots of big sheets of cardboard. Sounds like a lot of stuff but it's really not bad at all and I'm in no rush these days anyway.
WOWHas anyone checked the price of batteries lately? I recently had to buy one for a lawn tractor, checked a few different locations, average was about $150!
WOW
Thank God inflation is waning!
But seriously, that sounds extreme.
Unless it's a completely different type of battery, this looks like the most expensive in my area.

Your link is of a small lawn tractor battery, not automotive size or capacity. Not valid comparison.

The OP stated that the cheapest he found was $150.for a lawn tractor so it was a valid comparison to that. OP was;
