Default Oil change

$42.00 to change the oil myself in my 2012 jeep. That's crazy.

Yeah, the price of a quart of conventional oil has tripled compared to just 10 years ago.

In the past, I would never let someone change my oil. I would always say " $19.95 that's crazy, I can do it for half that". Not any more.

The quickie oil change places can do it a lot cheaper because they are using recycled oil (I know it passes all the maufacturers specs but...)

I lucked out with my new JK. The dealer does the first 4 oil changes free.

I don't know any shop that wouldn't try to sell you something else. Thats how they stay in business. But back on track, that doesn't sound too expensive for an oil change.
