My dealer charges $50, but I trust them so I feel it's worth it. And I've got an economy car. I've heard of $120 for a basic oil change for a luxury SUV. It seems high, but one can research maintenance costs for a particular vehicle before buy it. My dealer posts all the maintenance costs on a big board in the service bay. You can estimate how many miles you will be driving per year, add up the costs, and average them out over time and budget for it.

doesn't look too bad, honestly. it flows quickly and no sludge build up. even has a gold tint. Maybe has been changed prior.

It was probably a good synthetic oil.

[@djlinux64]

You might be surprised to learn that regular synthetic car engine oils can go even 60k miles between oil changes if there is a very good filter installed to prevent particles from clumping together and growing in a snowball effect. One filter type which can help prevent the snowball effect of growing particles is called a bypass filter. There are no cars from the factory with such a system so pushing over 20k miles on an oil change with a regular filter is increasingly risky but doable, as you can see in this video. There are some videos on KZbin showing 60k and 100k miles on an oil change without a bypass filter and the engine remained in operation after an internal cleaning without a major overhaul. My point is that you should not buy into the myth of super short oil change intervals. Almost all new cars without special filters can run at least 350 to 450 hours hours between changes on modern synthetic oils. Keep in mind most drivers average a speed of 35 mph over the life of their car assuming 50/50 city/highway driving.

[@kfstreich4787]

I have a 2005 Corolla, bought new, changed oil to Amsoil at 500 miles. One oil change per year, every 25,000ish miles. Now has nearly 290,000 miles on it. Two years ago, I had to replace the valve cover gasket. Under the valve cover was a lot of nice clean aluminum with a golden sheen on it. Took a picture and tweeted it to Toyota and Amsoil. But yeah, most people aren't properly educated in car ownership.

The new ones didn't seem to be any more reliable, actually, especially since many of them seemed to need a few corrections early in the ownership period. Do you live in an area where there is lots of flooding or maybe unscrupulous people bring cars from flooded areas? I know those can be some of the worst and also most difficult to spot. Anyway, you do the right thing with your new car by keeping it a long time. Some people buy new and then they buy new again after a few years, which is really dumb when you consider the depreciation hit you're taking. Videos like this are pretty scary, though, I must admit!

[@kingkevin267]

Nope I work at a Nissan dealer and the new jukes come turbo. We have had like 2 or 3 people with 30k miles on them who maybe had one oil change. Of course now they run into turbo problems. One would think that said toasted turbo would be covered under warranty. However we covered them. Although it depends on the dealer, in most cases they would cover it, because it is easier and cheaper to cover, than it is to possibly be sued (even though they don't have a case and would lose, the company would still have to pay lawyers and this and that) and to lose a customer. Plus in most cases even if the dealer declines they can call Nissan consumer affairs and they will tell the dealer to cover it. Now that isn't in all cases, so don't go neglecting your car, then when its not cover blame me, but I'm just saying I've seen it twice :(. Now when I worked at kia, we wouldn't warranty that kind of stuff, so I guess it also depends on manufacture.

That’s criminal. When I was a kid working in a neighborhood gas station, an old guy brought in a ‘50 Chevy. Those were the days when non-detergent oil and no oil filters were commonplace. I pulled the drain plug and nothing came out. Apparently, there was a thick layer of sludge and dirt lining the bottom of the oil pan. I stuck a screwdriver in the drain hole and broke through the crust allowing the oil to drain. We refilled it with fresh non-detergent oil and away he went. It would have been interesting to pull the valve cover and attempt a valve adjust through the goo. Those old Chevy sixes were tough engines.

[@IKhanNot]

Why do people continue to neglect such a simple maintenance item on a car. I mean shit the computer even reminds you when to change the oil so in this case the owner was just negligent as can be. I change the oil in my MB every 10k miles (as recommended) and use synthetic oil plus a fleece filter and it runs like a clock. It costs me right around the $100 mark which is way cheaper than getting engine problems down the line.

[@CmdrGendoIkari]

Save yourself $70, and change the oil yourself. It's like a 30 minute thing, and half of that is just waiting for all the oil to completely drain out. Most gas stations that do oil changes will take the used oil for free. The auto part store will also take it. It pretty much just gets filtered of debris, and then thrown back into the distillation tower at a refinery.

[@IKhanNot]

CmdrGendoIkari I do change my own oil. It's the 9 liters of Motul 5W40 and fleece filter that runs me $100 in my neck of the woods lol. I use a mityvac to drain the oil out of the dipstick tube, too lazy to remove 15 bolts to remove the skid pans underneath the car to get to the drain plug.

[@CmdrGendoIkari]

Djonkie Bonk Gebusss, is a lot of that the filter? I can buy various brands of oil in 5 quart jugs for under $30 at both local auto parts stores, and every gas station. Of course, my stupid car's filter happens to be about $5, and only needs 4.6 quarts of oil. Yeah, that would suck if you had to remove any skid pans to reach the oil drain plug, so good to have that alternative.

[@CmdrGendoIkari]

I just don't trust these Grease Monkey type establishments. They ruined one car's engine for me when I was a teenager not putting enough oil or antifreeze in it so the motor overheated and blew on the Interstate a few weeks later, and that was enough for me. I do my own vehicle maintenance ever since.

[@IKhanNot]

CmdrGendoIkari I'm in Canada and the cheapest I can get 229.5 approved oil for is around $40 per 5L jug. Lots of places sell it but price is within $1-$3 per jug. Engine takes around 8.5 liters of oil. There are cheaper paper filters but a fleece filter is recommended and costs around $15. Local dealership wants $320 for just oil change and good indy shops $170.

The oil was like treacle and there was other work on the invoices that clearly hadn't been done - new coil leads (nope - they were original), pollen filter (it had been completely eaten away and the cabin air intake was full of leaves and spiders etc). I changed the oil 5 times abd put a chemical flush through it and it still wasn't clean so I took off the sump, washed it and the engine out with diesel, put a new pick up and pump on and only then did the oil run clean.

I'm not a fan of GDI either but it seems the auto industry is forcing us down that path. I just bought a '17 Sonata. My first GDI car. At 9000 miles its running great and excellent mpg. Uses no oil. I do hyper maintenance every 3300 miles. As long as the intake doesn't coke up I'm going to see if I can get the 200k mile mark trouble free. If the valves coke I'm trading it off.

Best to let a good repair shop change the oil. Or do it yourself. You don't want a loose filter or drain bolt letting all the oil out. Then check the dipstick often to be safe no matter what.

There are also a lot of people in France who do not know that it is necessary to change the oil regularly !!! I saw once while I was working in a garage a car which had passed 55,000 km with the first oil! This oil was like a caramel, hard, even vitrified. The guy said : I have a red lamp on my dashboard ! We had to do three oil change for nothing, with a cleaning product, replace the oil filter, repeat the operation three times !!! Because all two oil filters were so dirty at all time...Now it is okay...

[@aky19832001]

I've had cars that have made it to 250k with NO ENGINE issues! No gasket changes, no repairs, nothing. The secret...1-Don't beat on the engine 2- OIL CHANGES EVERY 4K MILES ( SYNTHETIC)! It doesn't matter if the oil is still clear and thick. I change that bitch 4k and not a mile above.

aky19832001 Ok, change your oil at 1000 miles and im sure you will get years of service readability all while not doing any form of engine work. Changing synthitic at 4000 miles is a severe waste of oil and you should do some research on the life span of synthetic oil.

[@FCFordLord]

crashandburnbirner Go by the engine manufacturers rating, not by the oil manufacturers. Different engines put the oil through different stresses. A Boxer engine puts enough stress on most oils to cause them to sheer and burn, while those same oils are just fine in an average inline 4. I wouldn't go over 4k using synthetic in any of my Boxers, though many cars may safely do so.

Seen a few of these myself. Dated a girl w/brand new Accord v6 with almost 29K miles on it. We were going to take it on a long trip so I asked about the oil change. She replied, "Oil change?!?" Turns out she had also made it all the way through the factory brakes in only 29K as well.

[@1redrubberball]

My Ford Ranger was about 10 years old, with 130+K miles on it when I did a brake job on it, because I was worried about the front wheel bearings. I had owned it from new, and I found the front pads were still at half thickness. I'm very easy on brakes! Front wheel bearings were just fine, but I cleaned and repacked them anyway. Modern day wheel bearing grease is much better than it was 30-40 years ago.

I count 2200x100 minutes per day is 220 000 revs x 300 days is 66 000 000 revs every oil change. My turbo drinks a liter every 9-11,000 km.

I once let my old ‘98 Honda Civic go 22,000 miles without an oil change, due to lack of funds and sheer forgetfulness. When I finally changed the oil, the oil looked like what I described at the time as a “black diarrhea milkshake.” Oddly enough no sludge that I could see. The oil I used was Castrol GTX High Mileage, and a cheap Fram filter. I guess I got lucky with that one. I drove the car 2 more years without any engine problems before I finally got rid of it.

[@straydoggio]

It's the guys who change their oil too frequently who are the idiots imo. Burning your money. You've got to find the right balance. Just cause golden new motor oil turns black doesn't mean it's gone off. Obviously you don't want to wait till it's gloopy-sticky-gum oil, but an oil change every 4,000 miles? Madness imo.
