Oil change cost - how much?

[Red2000]

About $25, in my garage.
Kirkland full synthetic $2.70 qt
Motorcraft filter $8

I regularly get coupons in the mail from my dealer, for something like $55 an oil change.

Nice! I've been running supertech but was tempted by the Kirkland price to stock up.

I did find a bulk box of motorcraft filters that I'm working through. Currently running one of the 20,000 mile supertech synthetics.

About $45, Pennzoil Platinum. Haven't paid for someone else to do an oil change on my vehicles in likely over two decades... An extractor changes the game on these oil changes, no more messy spill with the huge oil plug.

Bought the service plan w/ my Bronco...averages $109 for synth oil change, tire rotation & multi-point inspection/report.

Been self-servicing vehicles for most of my 63-yr-old existence...time to reap the rewards and let others get dirty.

I usually do my own oil changes but have had the dealership do them on my Bronco (only two so far (currently at 12K miles). I want the oil changes documented so I don't get any potential pushback in the event of a warranty issue. Once the powertrain and extended warranty expire, I'll go and do them myself.

My dealer charges $124 for full synthetic and a five-tire rotation.

When I do the oil changes on my CTS-V and Roush Mustang I pay between $80-$100 for the OEM filter and Mobil 1 full synthetic (depending on the amount of oil for the specific car), and I'm able to get the oil and filter at wholesale price, not retail.

Add in not having to do the 5-tire rotation and dealing with taking the oil to get recycled, the extra $25-$35 over doing it myself is well worth it.

About $85 at my dealer, semi-synthetic and 5 tire rotation.

2.3L 7-speed About the same. If I go to my local mechanic that I trust it is about $60 synthetic without the rotation.

My last one was $54.95 at the Ford dealer where I bought my Bronco. Usually if I ask the service guys they'll hook me up with some kind of coupon deal they've got going. It's also nice to get a free vehicle wash as the dealer does a pretty good job. I still have quite a few Ford points and am continually getting more with the new credit card. So far I haven't paid for any oil changes and just use points...

Always coupons on the Ford site. Last one we got enough free points to get us another oil change later plus they do pick up and drop off which my wife values.

How much do you pay for an oil change? Went to my local dealership and it was $104. I guess it is time to find somewhere else to change it.

$119 at a NY dealership

Usually around $105, I don't get why it fluctuates. I've gotten $90 a few times. Dealer oil changes till the warranty runs out.

Is there a trick to getting the hose down the dipstick tube? With my extractor, only the very smallest hose will fit down the tube, and seems like it would take hours to suck 6 qt up and out. The next size up seems too big to get more than a few inches down the tube.

Change your own oil. It's so simple.

How much do you pay to dispose of the used oil and filter?

you can manually enter a oil change on the ford pass app it is a option if you want to do it yourself

All of you that have had a good experience with the dealer coming out for a oil change thank your lucky stars. My wife thought it would be too much for me change her oil because I had total knee replacement a couple weeks ago . It would have been easier to crawl under her Jeep with one leg than listen to all the ways they pissed her off. Anyway just did the Bronco full synthetic from auto value and a wix filter 43.39. Filter goes in the garbage, waste oil to a guy who uses it to heat his shop and takes less time than it would to drive to the dealership.
