How much will a change of oil for my car cost?

I have a 1996 chevy lumina its v6 and it needs an oil change im putting all my costs in order and i want to know how much it wil come to ?. I guess I am purchasing the oil at auto zone by the way...How much will a change of oil for my car cost?If you are buying your own oil and filter at autozone, then you are changing the oil yourself...so it is the cost of the oil and filter.....



If you go to one of the oil change places ... it will b about 25.00 oil and filter included



If you have your trusted mechanic do it ...somewhere between 25.00-35.00



Dealership will charge 35.00-45.00....



I use Kendall GT-1 10w40 and Fram filters in my hotrod, I buy the oil by the case, and 2-3 filters at NAPA auto parts



My Saturn I have serviced at the dealer because it's under warranty...How much will a change of oil for my car cost?You would be looking at approximately $20 to $25 dollars for a good conventional motor oil and a filter.%26quot;I didn't see that mentioned about the filter but it is just a rule of thumb when changing your oil. May I suggest also if you have a wal-mart close to your location, buy your oil and filter there. Wal-mart is generally cheaper to buy oil and filter from than Auto-zone.How much will a change of oil for my car cost?If you can do it youre self 17 19$. Otherwise,30 plusHow much will a change of oil for my car cost?i get my oil changes at safelube, an auto maintnance center and they charge $40. it includes the oil and the oil filter. you should just take it to a maintnance shop and have them do it. it shouldnt cost more then $50 though...How much will a change of oil for my car cost?Sounds like it is time for some more comedy here

Use according to directions. Buy your OWN oil and filter. Buy Mobil One 0W rated oil that states on the label %26quot;designed to meet GM specifications%26quot; Using this oil will PREVENT sludge formation and continue to clean the oil out for you as you drive.
