Oil Change - Where do you go? Local garage shop or a chain store?

Lol ok. You just asked me where they were servicing 5 series for $89 and I showed it to you. Let me know if you have any other questions about this thing called life.
i never asked you where i said i don't know of... it does me no good to know where now because i don't have a bmw and haven't had one for a long time. life, huh?
 
Been doing our cars ourselves the past 15+ years (oil changes, brake & tire replacements, etc). Though if more serious car repairs are required at the shop ... have a few hook-ups at some places (trustworthy owners that pops went to school & played sports with) and they'll include the oil change & some other quick inspection & top-up stuff for $20 - 25. Haven't had any real issues though ... just some minor catalytic converter & MAF sensor shit around 2009/2010 with current vehicle. We tended to that, but got a 2nd opinion at the shops as it still wasn't running too smoothly. Had some issues passing the AirCare test (program is no longer required) when it was needed every 2nd year. Hoping to upgrade current car within the next 6 - 12 months.

AirCare was an initiative started in 1992 to improve air quality in British Columbia, Canada through the systematic testing of road vehicles in order to reduce their emissions. Light-duty vehicles were suggested to be the biggest contributors to air pollutants that form smog and a small percentage of vehicles were contributing a large percentage of the pollutants.[1] AirCare ran for 22 years and was cancelled on December 31, 2014. AirCare was cancelled due to the fact that new vehicles were continuously becoming more eco-friendly, and the percentage of old cars on the road was decreasing.

The AirCare emissions program was started in order to reduce carbon emissions by vehicles. Many car models had to pass yearly or biyearly AirCare inspections.[2] The aimed to prevent old cars with high emissions to drive on the road without necessary repairs, thus protecting the air quality and lowering British Columbia's carbon footprint. AirCare was not considered a for-profit program, and charged just enough to cover its costs.[3] For example, in 2013 AirCare was charging $45 per test, but at the start of 2014 demand and therefore cost for the AirCare emissions test dropped to $36.[3] In 2014, the price continued to drop $2 a month, and by December 2014, as the program was about to be cancelled, the price had dropped to $14.
 
5 vehicle, 2 motorcycle. ..I do my own oil change. Worked for an oem vehicle manufacture. Those fast oil change places will strip your drain. I do my own, not to save funds, but for a piece of mind that my shit is done right. I use the Mityvac 7300 to change my oil.

Take a look at a Z-06 Corvette. It has a dry sum oil system. This is racing technology in a consumer production race car. 10 quarts and more than one oil pump.
 
Nigga said 10, 10 fuckin qts.

A fuckin v12 bm takes 8,

My truck takes 6.

Nigga is drivin a fuckin plane lol
The oil capacity of the AMG s63 which he allegedly has, is 9.4 quarts.. So there may be some truth to it but it's no fucking $500.

$150 for an oil change was one of the reasons I balked at the Maxima.
 
i take my truck to NTB....$19.99

but when it comes to my wife's Mercedes.......dealership only.
its still highway robbery....cuz that oil change is roughly $140.
 
why? my m37x is just a regular oil change. i always assumed both vehicles were based off the same platform
Don't know why, but with all of the new technology, I wasn't taking it to one of those franchise spots, and the dealers were charging a buck fiddy.

Stop, find the time and do it yourself.

If you can't, use this

I don't have a Diesel engine but this oil is the truth for trucks. Smells like it has soap. After a yr I check my valve covers and all springs rods and valves looked like clean metal.
