re: Oil change prices

Euro oil for the ex was one of the reasons I started buying it on my own and bringing it to Valvoline. Even paying for the oil from the shop in 2019 was only $90, including the extra quarts when I didn't supply the oil (base charge $90, extra oil was $17.08, mail coupon subtracted $23.) When I brought my own oil and filter, IIRC the cost was under $40 in subsequent years for labor and disposal.

Valvoline Euro is about $8.60 a quart if you buy more than 4 quarts, and you can get an additional 20% off with subscribe and save direct. So that cost (not including oil filter) could be cut in half, while paying for labor at a local shop.

A lot of people are scared at signing up for subscribe and save deals, but you're either the kind of person that has 11,000 unread emails and reminders you don't pay attention to, or you pay attention. But especially when it's a product that doesn't go bad, when that case of oil shows up, it's your reminder to pause your next shipment for 9 months, and just stash the oil in the garage. I think I had seven massive unopened boxes of toilet paper that got auto shipped from Amazon in February of 2020, but I knew that shite was going to get used eventually.
