$55 is a GREAT DEAL. Niello Porsche in Rocklin charges $180 for a oil change.

Yea, we were doing oil changes at the shop for 109 bucks with mobil one. We had to drop them to 79 bucks, which is what it costs us to do it, just to try and stay competitive. Now it is more of a convienence thing for the customers more than anything.

threpwood, you need to buy a floor jack and start doing this yourself. You'll pay for the jack the first time you do it, and it will only take 15 minutes in your driveway!

Isn't there a special adapter we need to adapt the floor jack to the recepticle in the body?

Where do we get that?

my floor jack is a race jack from Pep Boys and it had a nice, wide 4 inch rubber base on it that requires no jack pad insert. I bought it for this reason, and it wasn't expensive...something like $74.
