Some Walmarts carry the Mobil 1 0w-40, one near me has an advertised Full-Syn oil change for about $54 that is up to 5 quarts & they said in my case they would use the Mobil 1. I said well this car takes 8 quarts...the guy said I would have to pay for 3 more quarts...that's reasonable. I also said you don't have the correct filter, but I can bring one in ....he said they would knock 2 or 3 bucks off (the filter they would have used).

So, on any old day....you can get an L25277 Purolator filter at Advance Auto for $12 (open the box & see that's it really says MANN HU 718/5) ...this is THE correct filter Kit!!!

$12 filter
$52 Syn oil change at Walmart (includes 5 qts Mobil 1 0w-40)
$19 for the 3 additional qts M-1 0w-40)
-------

=$83 + tax


Granted, you can usually find better deals on the oil & the filter & you can change it yourself....But,

anyone should be able to get it done <$90 & not even get their hands dirty.


Last year around XMAS I got 24 qts of the oil from internet sales at local Advance Autos for $4 each, bought a bunch of the Mann filters online for <$10 each & I usually pay a local shop about $15 to do the change....I only have them put in 8 quarts..(9 oil changes on the 07 & 3 on the 08 so far)....you don't need to put in 8.5 quarts.

So the last 4 changes or so have only cost me < $60 each & I never got dirty.
