Is there a bigger racket than getting your oil changed?

What kind of chump would pay almost $100 for a service everyone can do at home...

Are people really too lazy to unscrew a cap and dump the oil in a hole??

or don't be a dipshit and find a place that does it for $37 which is barely more than the price of materials, and I don't have to waste valuable time?

For an oil change? A pretty big chump. Plenty of places charge 1/3 of this.

I don't want to frick with it at my house. The oil filter on my 4Runner is a motherfricker to change. I don't want to frick with used oil. I don't want to lay on my back and get oil all over me. I don't want to deal with messy arse oil drain pans.

I change my oil once every 7,500 miles or so. For me that's about twice a year. I'm okay with the expense to avoid the hassle.

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

Um, the most expensive mine has every been was like 35 to 40. Usually more in the 30 dollar range.

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.

I get an oil change and a printout confirming all systems are in working order for way less than $100. Worth it. I could do it myself but I'd rather not spend my precious free time crawling under a truck.

I pay $45 for Cadillac to change mine. They use synthetic. And they hand wash the car when finished.

Virtually any racket is bigger than getting my oil changed.

Paying $50 dollars to reserve a bay at Top Golf, and it doesn't even go to your bay time. What a joke.

I dont think I've ever paid more than $40. If someone is paying $100 they're a moron and deserve to be separated from their money.
