Default First oil change.

I had the dealer do the first freebee oil change. Now it's my turn.

Just FYI - Jegs has 8qts Mobil 1 Supercar and a filter for $93. That sounds like a bargain to me. Anybody seen better?

I purchased my Supercar oil from Amazon for about $10/quart. Filters are less than $10.

Have fun!

I found the 6 pack on Amazon for $58 but each additional qt is $20!! I was going to order it and get the 2 extra from Autozone but why run around to save a couple bucks?

I just ordered 2 six packs from Amazon and will save the 4 qtrs for the next 2 oil changes after buying 2 more 6 packs.

To make the math easer for those needing help 4 six packs get you 3 oil changes

I also ordered from amazon.. 2 six packs will order more later.. as i changed it at 3600 miles. will use the free one at 7500 miles, then change ery 5k after that. Just what i do to all my cars and bikes. But I think they need to stop having fitness memberships for the dude that puts on the oil filters. Had to squeeze the thing so hard to loosen it punched a hole in it.. Also put in a power commander.. Like on my motorcycle it made a huge difference in throttle response..

That's what I did February of last year when they had a special six plus oil filter sale. Since then I used one set and have two more to use.

Why mock people who may or may have not bought their oil at a higher price. Why not just post that there is a good deal and leave the smart *** part off?

I’m sorry if you were taken advantage of, made poor buying decisions, and feel salty about it.

Grow up. You think you're funny but you're just showing your immaturity and inconsideration. Keep your childish comments to yourself. I started this thread to obtain information and not for you to turn into a 3rd grade bully.

Hey Mr. Moderator, you can close this thread. It has served its purpose and is now running amuck.

Don't feel sorry since I didn't. You don't feel sorry anyway. Go troll elsewhere.

I never buy from there just for oil. When I need other stuff I add to the cart BUT even if shipping is $13 it is still cheaper.
