survey: what do you pay for an oil change?
Survey just out of interest: What do you pay for an oil change, including filter? Those who DIY don't laugh at us.
State your Year/model, and, if you want, the city/district
I'll start:
2011 997.2 4S. My local stealership charges $485, plus taxes. Arg! (and it only takes an hour, max)

My current house has a steep driveway which is useless 99% of the time. However for oil changes, I can just drive the front or back of a car onto a raceramp, which levels it out perfectly, then do a nice safe and easy oil change on the ground without touching a jack. Last one on my 996 was probably $80 and 25 minutes.

Routine maintenance at the dealer = bend over markups! Support your community indy shops. Your wallet and your independent local biz community will thank you!

Have a four post lift. Buddy works for Wakefield Canada (Castrol Oil). My oil change cost is the price of the filter and 20 minutes of my time.
Just replaced my Rotary lift with a new Bendpak. Rotary lasted 16 years (posts were rusting bad) and more than paid for itself changing the oil on 3 cars.
