I don' know about Zero reason

Oil $50 Walmart (Mobile 1)
Filter $10 (NAPA)
Crush washer $1

Total materials: $61
Dealer Labor: $239-269 per hour ????
I'll bet it only takes them 1/2 hour $478-538 per hour ?????????
DIY With Ramps takes 1 hour( Jacking up 1.5 hours) and that's just to make sure Oil is all out

No reason to bad mouth dealers @ $230+/hour. Now I understand why there is such a line for Oil changes outside my local dealer

I'm going to have to eat my words someday when I have to go there

Oil changes are about as easy as they can be on a Boxster
