I dunno about cheap, the filter from NAPA is about $14 and the oil from WalMart (Mobile One 0W 40) is sold there for 6.67 per quart, all this is $67.36 plus 7% state sales tax. Then you have to rid yourself of the old oil and filter. This of course is a DIY project.

My first oil change in May of last year was $35 at the dealership. I got another one just last month and it was $60! When I called around to check prices the most expensive one was $118, I was shocked as well!!

For that price I would wonder what oil was used.
Phoning around for the cheapest is liable to get you the cheapest, ask what oil and filter was used.

Hate to say it, but at $35 and $60 there is a good chance Mobile1 is not in your car. It is not a typical oil for many Chrysler dealers and they use their own full synthetic, that may, or may not meet the Mercedes spec.

I don't know anyone who is willing to sell something, and install it, or less than he paid for it, and Mobile1 is not cheap.....

I don't remember the exact cost of my first oil change. What I do remember was the feel'n that I was take'n proper care of a car that puts a grin on my face! Kinda like the first flowers I bought for da little woman.

I hope to be around to do many more expensive oil changes..............and buy many more flowers. After all it's only money.
