    Yeah. That's a cheap oil change at the dealership, no doubt. At the Toyota dealership I worked at in Michigan, a change with Mobil 1 was closer to $60-$70.

    I was headed that way this week, need a slice of pizza.

    Shame they shut down their buffet lunch, $.55 was the best deal around.

    i put 4k on in 1 year wi to Mobil 1. do you guys go by miles or 1 year regardless?

    i just bought some kirkland synthetic oil. $28 Box comes with 2 5-quart bottles. mobil 1 is something like $35 for 6 1-quart bottles. i usually buy that when there's a $10 of special.

    i used to used whatever dino oil was cheapest in my old mazda trucks. havoline, valvoline, pennzoil, castrol.

    Non-fat. It's not really milk, it's water that's lying about being milk.
