    Joe, I believe you're honest. (Just by your postings)

    I also believe we have among us people who what something for nothing. I believe we have service people and or managers / owners willing to add to profits one way or the other. I don't believe either is right.

    I've been going to Valvoline for a while and haven't had any issues. They don't ever try to push me to buy anything. I went to a Jiffy Lube when I first moved to IL and it ended up costing me like $60 to get my oil changed and the guy kept trying to get me to use the high mileage oil or to have my radiator flushed. I used to change my own oil when I was living in LA since I had a driveway, but it's just not practical anymore.

    It's usually around $10 or $15 labor plus parts for an oil change. I don't see why anyone would bother wasting their time with jackstands crawling under the car to change the oil unless you LIKE to do it.

    i did it myself when i had old cars, and also worked for a shop where it was free as a perk.. now with a new car, its a shop.. or dealer. not worth the trouble or getting rid of the oil properly.

    Changing the oil is easier than changing a tire. Just get a couple ramps from your local wal-mart/auto store.

    i change the oil on the truck, don't need stands or ramps, and wal mart recycles the old oil for free.
