I had started changing my own oil about 10 years ago and my wife had a fit that I was spending $70 on oil and filter plus some supplies here and there compared to the $50 oil change.
We took the car there next time with the coupon. Wife came with me so she could make sure.
Oh, I only use synthetic, it says so in the manual. That was an extra $30.
The car takes 6 quarts, not 5. +$15
The filter wasn't included. +$20
No, that's not my air filter. I just replaced it last time.
Can you please deflate my tires back to 32 psi? 60 is too high. It says so here on my door frame.
+???? & Tax came out to $130.
5 minute oil change took like 30-40 minutes.
I still do so my own oil changes.
The fact that these places always exclude the filter from their price and treat it as a "gotcha" add-on is deeply hilarious.
You have to replace the filter when you change the oil. That's just how it works. It's not special and it's not extra. It's literally the intended procedure.
The reason I do it myself is because they'll use a generic crappy no name filter and oil with no additives for older engines or anything.
K&N Air Filters would like to have a word...
I literally never change my air filter during oil changes because once a year I take my K&N out, treat it and put it back in. They work better, they produce less waste and they pay for themselves after a year.
The oil filter. Not the air filter.
Then I misunderstood because I do see them charging extra for air filters too.
Oh, I'm sure they do. And charge eight times more than what they're worth.
I'm actually okay with someone charging an extra $15 to swap an air filter.. if they are only charging a few bucks for the filter. It's labor cost and I have fought with stupid air filter clips enough to know it's not for everyone.
They also use shit oil, you'll be lucky if it's the right weight you were even supposed to have, and you don't have to look very hard before finding someone who's left one of those places with no oil put back, or the oil cap left off, or a leaky filter or drain bolt, or stripped drain bolt threads, etc.
I've always changed my own oil.
Also, a special shout-out to Valvoline Restore and protect oil. It really does make your engine cleaner and free up piston rings. My 08 Prius has 272,000 miles on it and the last 16,000 miles I've been using that oil (lots of vehicles around those years were using low tension oil rings) I've gone from burning a quart around every 2,800 miles, to burning a quart every 5,000 miles.
Yeah, I heard the stories and couldn't bear to be at their mercy.
