So when I get one I won't have to change every 3k like in my vw , well in that case i guess the price sort of balances out , thanks for the help

Overhead, oil disposal, labor costs, all drive up the price in doing an oil change at a dealership. Plus, they usually look the car over for other problems. But, all of which you can do yourself. And take part in keeping your classic in tip top shape. If it is your daily driver, then take her to the dealership. I will never use a quick change shop. I had a bad experience there.


I just paid 142.00 for mine and they did find a oil leak somewhere n they were nice enough to add the dye to trace the leak for free....yea free and dealership do not mix...lolbut they did compliment my car Alot so I'm guessing that had something to do with it
