Any recommendations for oil changes in BR? I want them to use Mobil 1 full synthetic.

I've always done it myself, but just got a nice little pay raise.

I just called one place and was told Mobile 1 full synthetic is $12/qt. Dude must be smoking that good stuff.

You don’t like the price do it yourself.

I use 5 min oil change. Don’t give af what the price is because I don’t feel like doing it

Dealership. They pick it up, change the oil, rotate the tires, wash it and bring it back.

Congrats on the raise.

Save your money and do it yourself.

Continue to do it yourself, that way you know what you're actually putting in your vehicle and can look around while you're under there for any leaks and whatnot. Not to mention you'll actually feel manly and not like some yuppie sissy boy that can't get his hands dirty.

Find a place that will let you bring in your own oil and filter.

I buy my Mobile 1 at Costco and get a Mobile 1 oil filter online. I've got a local place that changes the oil and filter for me cheap.

I used to change my own, but built a house on a hill a while back and don't have a level place handy to do it anymore.

So, you get a raise and want to waste part of it on an oil change. Damn! I'd rather do it myself and use the money I saved towards more or better tools!

Do it myself. The ‘mechanics’ at oil change places are not very trustworthy.

We use Dip Stix on Jones Creek. It's a family owned business and he lives in the neighborhood over from me. His house and his business flooded so I try to give them a little business when I can.

I changed my own for years and just have no desire to do it anymore for the $20 it saves me.

I just go to Benny’s.

It’s like $79 for mobile 1 oil change and includes decent car wash and interior cleaning.

I still get free oil changes at BMW. I'll probably just buy a new one once these run out just for more free oil changes.
