depends on where….
125-150 good price
150-200 prob the norm
>200 Rape…..
you have at minimum 75 to 80 bucks worth of supercar oil anywhere you can get it, the filter another 8-10, then labor on top of that. if you use anything but a authorized Chevy dealership, keep all the receipts for the oil and filter and the repair order from the shop you use.
I use a local muffler shop that lets me watch and help with the change, I bring my own oil and filter, and they charge me 35 bucks.

DIY super easy. Ramps or 2 jacks + jackstands.
You'll need 8 quarts + filter. I'd suggest AutoZone's deal or ordering it all from www.RockAuto.com

I used to change my own oil but for the little labor the dealer charges and it's on GM's record when the oil and filter was changed I just have the dealer change it. No point in risking a warranty claim being denied because I changed my own oil and the only proof I have is that I bought the oil and filter...

Oil/filter changes have really gotten expensive. If you can do it yourself, you can save some cash.

I paid $122 at my local Chevrolet dealer last week. they have several Corvette service specialists and I trust their work. It was not worth it to me doing it myself and risking any warranty implications that may occur later.

Great price considering the price a dealer charges for just the oil.

Ref #5 - Easy - Just leave 6.4 oz in the bottom of one of the quart bottles. I normally purchase the 12 quart bags of M1, however, I've got some 4 quart jugs marked & save a few quart bottles to measure 1 quart. I'm not that good at watching oil flow from a 12 quart bag & guessing where to stop.
Have a good weekend.
