I know most people are able to do it and i will start to "hope is ok with the warranty" cuz i was not paying attention when i took the car to get a radiator recall and said sure change the oil while you are at it...

$100

i felt raped.

 

Actually $100 at the dealer isn't bad. When you do it the price will be around $65 - $75, depending on how much you pay for the oil and filter.

 

Oil changes run from $110 - $145 depending on the dealers labor rates.

 

the local dealer's website (Junction CDJ in Chardon, OH) says it's $99.

the Owner Care Plus warranty i have says it's free.

 

Costs me $82. Then again my uncle owns the dealership and they give me a big discounts on parts. They gave me like a $25 discount off parts for the oil change.

 

$100 seems real reasonable. Oil alone costs $6.15 a Qt. at an auto parts store @ 8.5 (9) Qts = $55.35 (plus tax) add on filter and disposal, plus you still have to pay the mechanic.

So you got an good price and only needs to be done every 6K - 8K miles.

 

I went to a new dealer and they charged me $113. They told me on the phone it would be $140, but gave me a discount - and washed the car before I got it back. I think I'm gonna like these guys!

 

I did it myself for around $60. If i can do it myself then anyone can. No reason to take it to the dealer for $100 ish. Save the $30 and get something chrome for in the interior. =P And i reset the FSS(or FFS w/e) first try. =]

 

I would do it myself but I don't want to have to deal with the oil disposal. I think this time around mine is only going to be around $80 (extra oil left over from the last 2, saves me this time).

 

i'm with ya JaredR but even when i save money i still can't make myself spend it. hehe.

 

If they actually drained it and replaced the filter then it's a good deal. Your time is money too.

If they sucked it out instead of draining then, well... maybe you did. But that's another thread.
