Oh well, I think I will avoid the dealer... > Anybody charging 40 bucks for an oil change is making no money. For example, local Mobil 1 0W40 retails locally for $6.99 (I just bought 20 quarts on sale for $5.30 which is the lowest price for years) and 15/50 from Walmart for the usual 23 bucks for a five quart jug. And then there is the filter (fleece in my car) which might $7 or more. Or less. Plus labor, disposal fees, shop supplies etc.
So my oil-change-by-Topsider just yesterday cost me about $50 and no labor charge. My MB dealer probably gets twice that.
