Oil Change

What does an oil change cost? Dealership sells maintenace package and oil change, lube etc. comes to around $23/$28 per change. That seems really good. Anyone take them up on this ?

At that price pay for 10 oil changes now. As someone else has already said, supplies alone cost that much.

I'll bet the $28 oil change is their special for a gasser that holds 5 quarts.

but once the contract is signed & paid for... not too much they can do to back out legally unless you allow it

I was offered that same deal. Normal price for an oil change at that dealer is $59.95. Buy upfront, you pay about $31 a change.
I said no, since you get locked in at that dealer, and no chance of any upgrades (like synthetic).
I'll do my own, thanks.
