$24.95 for an oil change, not bad, is it?
I've never been more paranoid about oil as I've been since I started visiting this site. I've used Firestone ($16) for 20 years on my cars and have always asked for "an oil change".
Now I find myself interviewing the mechanic, asking which grade of oil he's using, etc.
In any event, I have an appointment with the Toyota dealer (bringing it in for the squeaky brakes issue) for next Saturday and when I asked about an oil change, they said it costs $24.95 for 5W-20. I asked if they had 0W-20 and he said yes, same price for either grade.
Based upon the posts/threads that I've been reading, that sounds like a good deal, isn't it?
Firestone said it would be $100.

That is what I pay in my own driveway for a synthetic oil change. It only takes about 15 minutes total do change the oil on the Camry. Just too easy to take it to a dealer for that.

That's not bad. It's $34.95 for an oil change with dino oil here which is still pretty good considering labour and a bottle of oil is about $35 anyway.

One brake job will pay for everything, but oil changes will take you a few years if you use dino blends.

Did you stand there and watch what they actually put in your car ? I don't think the dealers allow you to stand anywhere near the work areas. I bring mine to Tire Kingdom and have it changed for $24.99 (regular 5w20) and I can stand there and watch them.
