[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3607216, member: 26737"] Mobil1 is a lot cheaper if you buy it in the bigger jugs. IIRC, the last time I looked, three 1qt bottles cost about as much as the "5qt gallon" jug; I want to say the single quarts were ~$8ea, and the big jug was ~$25--and the "box of oil" wasn't a whole lot more than the jug. I'd bet that the unit costs are significantly lower when you're buying it by the 55gal drum, and lower still when you're buying it in the quantities an oil change place is. So it wouldn't shock me if they could, in fact, charge you less for an oil change than you could do it yourself. [/QUOTE]
