Mazda 3s - 5 door.
So how much is everyone paying for an oil/filter change? And/or how much are we getting quoted for a new filter kit (filter and both O-rings)?

Hamilition, NJ

Oil Change = 35$ (25$ with cupon).

Filter = 9$
Large Oring = 6$
Small Oring = .90$

$21.95 here in NW PA (and that is the dealer)
 
Dealership, buy 5 change package..

Works out to $22 - $24 per change CDN prices.

Being 5W20 oil, it would cost about the same to do it yourself.
 
Do it yourself....

$4.72 for filter, and both O rings.
4 quarts Mobil 1 0-20 at $4.50 each (Wally World)

$22.72 and about 15 minutes of my time.

Downside?
Less convenient than someone else doing it.
Have to recyle the oil at PepBoys.
Got my hands dirty....

Upside?
Better oil.
Know it's done right
No missing bolts, crossthreaded stuff.
No guessing, I know I have 2 new O rings and a new filter cartridge in.
No leaks, no drips because I was not in a hurry.

Mazda3Zoomer, off topic, but where did you go to highschool?

West Windsor - Plainsboro South Campus. You?

if im paying 16$ for the filter set, then another 5$ for oil thats already 21$. Mite as we pay the extra 4$ and not deal with it. (unless i can find the oil filter cheaper.)
 
Notre Dame. Graduated in 1996. Small world, huh?

hmm. did they use synthetics?

ive been seeing a wide range of prices for both the oil change and the filter set....

so i guess my quoted prices is middle of the road and i should be happy....
