my oil and filter is changed by my Dealer
it`s 19.95 OTD
Hard to justify changing it yourself when it's that cheap to have the dealer do it.
Self change = Time / cost involved to buy supplies to do it, time and mess of doing it, time and mess of taking the old oil for disposal. mess of getting rid of old filter in trash.
I wish local C/J/D dealers offered a service like my two Chevy dealers do... Free LOF's for life on purchase of a new vehicle.
My Aveo - I've changed it only twice myself in the 69k miles I've owned it. once at about 1000 miles, then on a trip when I was out of town and it needed an oil change.
My Silverado Duramax, unbelievable as it is, they do free LOFs on it too! My dad takes his GMC Duramax to the same dealer and has to pay for the same service and it costs him about $100.
