re: Is there a bigger racket than getting your oil changed?

Do you really think someone who pays $100 for an oil change can answer those questions?....correctly?

These 5 minute oil change places won't change my oil because my car doesn't have a dip stick. Oil alone cost me $80 if I change it myself, so I don't have a problem paying $100.

pay almost $100 where? How many quarts? Synthetic or regular? What kind of filter?

Well let’s see, on my Porsche 996 it takes around 9.5 quarts full synthetic plus a synthetic filter. I do it myself and it cost me around $60 so I can only imagine what quickie lube will charge. On my Sequoia it uses around 8 quarts and cost me around $60 like the 996 because I have to buy 2 5quart jugs. So again I’d assume if a normal 5 quart synthetic oil change is $50-60 the 996 and Sequoia would easily be around $100. You chumps are paying $37 for the worst oil money can buy. A synthetic oil change is easily $50-$150 it all depends on how much oil you need.
