Drive Thru Oil change cost...

What the going rate for an oil change these days.


Mr. Lube, Mobil etc...



Conventional Oil & Filter

2011 Ram 1500 5.7 L Engine.

I usually use Quaker State Conventional & Fram Filters.

I need one and am not in the mood this weekend.

Most of those places have online coupons, so print one out at home before you go. Or just tell the dude you need five bucks off. Probably $89 is regular price for conventional? They are all close to same price.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Agree prolly ~$80 going rate for up to 5L of oil.

#BackInMyDay it was as low as $20 with a coupon.

enjoy your stripped/overtorqued drain plug and recommendation for a new air filter because "when your engine is dirty the dirt comes into the filter and you break down"

I was going to make a joke about it costing several thousand because the horror stories

Fucking dealership lube monkeys are just as bad. Same risk both places.

I typically change my own oil. Not only do I prevent drain plug stripping, I spill enough oil on my garage pad that it keeps the rebar from rusting out. I also spill enough on my clothing and skin that I smell like a rig worker and get free cigarettes outside the local crack bar.

God damn life saver. I can do an oil change in 5 minutes flat with the top mounted oil filter. No raising the car or crawling on the floor or oil pans chaos.

Quick question...

Truck has always has always had conventional oil on a regular schedule from day 1 when I bought it.

Would there be any advantages / disadvantsages to switching to a full synthetic blend now.

Truck has approx 140K on it.

[ExtraSlow]

No disadvantage but cost. Advantages pretty minor after 140k.

[bjstare]

Nothing to add except that it’s synthetic blend, or full synthetic.

Full synthetic blend is like one of those jeapordy before and after answers.
