Is it normal to pay $200.00 for an oil change? ...and that's without taxes.

 

Good gosh no! I change my own but i would think $100-$125 tops. Go someplace else.

 

My last two were $85.00 at the dealer.

Hi,

I have had 2 oil changes & filter & service N/C part of the deal when I bought the crossfire. Will have to pay next time.

 

I only pay about $6.00 to change my oil. Mostly because I'm only changing the bi-pass filter every 4,000 miles. Check out my thread on my motorguard bi-pass filter system.
It's worth it when spending money on synthetic oil.

 

That's outrageous, oil change at the dealer should be no more than $85.00 - $125.00 tops.

 

I think the original poster lives in Canada, so the $200 figure may be Canadian dollars, which is about $178 US. That's still a ridiculously high number, though.

 

My local dealer charged me $65 for my oil change. $200 is out of the question.

 

i have been paying $105.

my dealer has a punch card... after paying for 4 oil changes... your 5th is free. my 5th change is next.

 

I've been paying $90.00.

 

I haven't made an oil change yet, but I've accumulated all that I need to di it. Vacuum Pump $55, 9 qts Mobil-1 $45, Mann fleece oil filter $4, latex gloves - $0.50. Labor - no price...it will be a labor of love.

 

Thanks everyone for guidance and my apologies - those are Canadian dollars. However, these days the exchange rate is pretty good.

I am watching my pennies these days - recent marital break-up means paying a mortgage on my own but I am NOT selling my Crossfire!!

Changing your own oil on your XF, PRICELESS.

 

My dealership has a program where if you get 3 oil changes the forth is free. So in goes the Caravan, 300C and when I get to the forth oil change (since the Crossfire is 7,000 miles) Crossfire goes in. No charge. The other 3 oil changes are $25.00 so for $75 dollars I get 4 oil changes including my Crossfire!

 

I am fortunate my dealer offered me a free lifetime oil change with mine.

 

I have been paying $125. Considering 7 quarts of oil, lube and checking other fluids, it is outrageous. Well i just changed oil, filter and air filter on 2001 maxima and it cost me apprx $35.

 

How often have you been changing your oil? I don't go for the 7,500 miles due to synthetic. I have been changing at 4,500 miles.

 

It is outrageous, particularly if they gave you only 7 quarts instead of the required 8.5 quarts...

 

roncosrt6, If you're changing the oil on your other car every 3K miles than it's the equivalent of $70.00. Not that this helps, it just adds a little perspective. I didn't know that the oil changes on the XF were that expensive, until now.
I appreciate the free oil changes more now.

 

Wow Upstate, nice deal!
Let's see,...how far is Rochester N.Y. from Akron Ohio?
