$118 for an Oil Change?

I usually get my oil from COSTCO... MOBILE 1 syn... 5W30 6 bottles for $30 when on sale.. so I usually buy 2 cases to 3 cases.

+1. Costco usually has 6 quarts for under $30. The key is to shop for oil halfway through the interval. This time around, Pep Boys was running a special on 5 quarts of Mobil1 + a Mobil1 filter for $30. Add 2 more quarts and it's roughly $45 for everything. If I have to pay more than $50 for 7 quarts of oil and a filter, I keep shopping.

I use mightyvac pump from top and pay $49 for oil and $5 for filter. Once a year I pay $88 in Manhattan NY to drop oil sensor and drain from bottom. (oil pan is stripped at drain plug so I jb welded it shut)

Try to get a screw or bolt extractor.. I think Bluebee had this problem before read a thread relating to it.

Thanks for advice ...I wonder how hard it will be to get jb weld off creating new drain plug hole was only $25 on the honda civic. I may eventually get new oil pan.
