Hi,

Costs me about $46 (+ my time as bmus points out). I buy Mobil1 0-40 directly from the local Exxon-Mobil distributor as a Will Call for just over $4/qt. Filter, 'O' ring and crushwasher $14. I use the Raise-Drop method (raise car, place pan, loosen drain plug, filter, drop car and wait 30 min. to insure all the Oil is out, the raise car button everything.)

I get the value of your time thing, but for me a big part of the Sports Car experience is doing the work, as much as you can. It is therapy for me, so it is what I want to do with my time.

It also gives you greater pride of ownership and allows you to get more intimate with the car as you can thoroughly inspect everything while you're under there.

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
