I usually change my own, oil but for $64, I think that’s a pretty good deal.
Agree or disagree?

I used to work at a mechanic shop where the owner also owned a 'vette.
He used 'the best synthetic oil I could possibly find' in it, and changed it every 3000 miles.
He would then run this used oil through a filter (not an engine oil filter), and store it.

There was always a small group of drivers who never used their cars long enough to reach normal operating temp -
EXTREMELY short trips, well under 6000 miles a year.
Unbeknownst to them, their cars were getting his 'vette's used and re-filtered motor oil, for like $25.IFF the oil you're actually getting is actually GroupIV synthetic - not GroupIII synthetic or lesser -
then yes it's a good deal (they're not really making any profit).

Our dealer does that with tire rotation, top of all fluids, checks alignment for around $80 and it gets entered into the system, important for warranty coverage I think. I do check it over when I get home and - so far - they've been perfect. The dealers use bulk oil, big drum of Dexos full synthetic. Your $64 for 8 quarts, filter, and some lube sounds pretty good these days.

What about the 2 beers you get to drink while changing your own oil - will the dealer let you drink em in the waiting room? Jokes aside, its a good price if the dealer isn't too far away. I still prefer doing my own since Im done in 30 minutes...
