[quote]RIght now, I can get my oil change for $10. Are you saying oil change was $5 10 years ago?[/quote]
You can’t get anything remotely resembling decent oil for $10. I pay $25 for six quarts of synthetic at Walmart, before filter and before labor. Even if the mechanic has a super-nice wholesale deal on the oil, $10 is still not happening, unless they are doing the oil change at a loss for some reason.
