I planned to get my oil changed today at Costco but they are booked solid for the day. They do not take apt's and it's first come first served. People were waiting there an hour before they even opened this morning.
So we stopped at a different place that does oil changes and the guy working their said my car needs a special filter or something; and that it would be about $60 from there. The dealership charges $50 for the oil change and Costco is $20.
Where do you get your oil changed? What does an oil change for our cars require. I told my dad that this car cannot possibly cost more to do an oil change on than my brother's BMW. This is not a high end car so I don't understand what special filters/oil he is talking about.
If I wanted to do an oil change myself what would I require so that I know when I go somewhere for an oil change what they should be doing.
Thanks for your help.
