$325.00 oil change???

[puzzled]

This was what I paid. Probably the book values.

In the USA the materials MSRP dealer price can cost about $125(?).. If going labor is $125/hr about $190..

$190 + $125 =$315 + tax (?)

I donno, maybe that is book value..

Roughly $35 dollars for oil+filter that I buy myself and I take it to a oil change shop that I trust. It only cost $30 for them to change it for me if I bring my own stuff. I would change it myself, but I lowered my car and I can't get it on ramps.

I was quoted $250 by 2 different dealers.....

I usually find dealership coupons for oil changes. They will charge a little extra because of the extra oil they have to put in but the total should still be under $100. Coupons that I have used so far do not have an exclusion for the Supra so they have to honor it lol. BMW's cost less at the dealership for oil changes which is pretty sad.

Buy these, and roll the car on them, then you should be able to jack the car up from the front jack point to put on jackstands. I do this on my Supra.

I could do the change myself, but I like having all the service records.

You can do it yourself and still have service records. Just document the oil change (with date and odometer reading) and make a photocopy of the receipts for the oil and the oil filter. Then you'll have a solid record of not only when the oil change was done, but the oil and filter used as well.

To me, that's even better than a dealership oil change record.

You mean Canada, Kentucky? So it's in the USA now?

Dealer quoted me 85. 325 is crazy territory.

Which dealer? Paul Miller quoted me $289 for an oil change and the car has to be dropped off overnight.

Oil changes are just so easy with this car. It's one of my absolute favorite maintenance features.

Way easier than my STi with a Fumoto valve or my Cayman.

I believe that was from Prestige Toyota in Ramsey. I later got an oil change at a different dealer (much closer to home in Parkway Toyota) and they said it must've been a quote for a regular oil change and charged me 180 + tax I believe.

Thank you.
