re: Oil change prices

I change the oil myself in my children's vehicles much cheaper than I get can it done in the small town where I live. My son goes to college 3.5 hours aways but doesn't put on a lot of miles on his Tundra so I can get it done twice a year when he is home. I had the oil changed once for $112 (full synthetic) at one of the local quick lubes and that was enough for me to get back into changing the oil myself. I put a Valvomax drain plug on each of their vehicles to make it a cleaner job.

I take my F250 (gas engine) and wife's Expedition to the local Ford dealership and it costs around $70-$80 per vehicle. This is about the only dealership I've ever come across where they don't try to rip you off. Small town of less than 12,000 and they take care of their customers.

I actually enjoy the work as it allows me keep an eye on the health of their vehicles. Jumped in on a valve cover gasket job and a few other things on the Tundra. I take care of brake pad/rotor changes on all of vehicles.
