How much does a full service oil change typically cost with full synthetic oil?

I had a $10 off coupon at a Valvoline instant oil change figured I might as well use it. I had a full service oil change done with full synthetic oil (synpower 5W30) almost 5 quarts used. The total came up to $63.84 in Massachusetts. Is that normal for a full service oil change with full synthetic oil, I know thats top of the line oil but it just seems high. (Its a 97 awd eclipse gsx with 73k miles on it so trying to keep it in good condition)



Looking at the receipt, it says $37 for parts and $25 for labor. So what are people being charged for labor and parts when their oil change is only $20 bucks? Is Valvoline just expensive? The labor was higher because it was full service? Thanks.



I dont think I was necessarily cheated but I'm just not going to keep paying that kind of money for an oil change.How much does a full service oil change typically cost with full synthetic oil?
Figure that synthetic will be $20 to $25 added on top of whatever the price of the "normal" oil change costs, so $63 is entirely believable. Ironically, if you buy the oil yourself, they will probably only give you $2 or $3 off, but the saving is still worth it, if you are unable or unwilling to change oil yourself.
DON'T GO TO WALMART OIL %26amp; LUBE THEY WILL RUIN YOUR CAR AND NOT PAY FOR IT, THEY REFER YOU TO THEIR INSURANCE WHO WILL NOT PAY. I NOW BELEAVE WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS ABOUT WALMART, I HAVE NOW LEARNED MY LESSON. CHANGE YOUR OWN OIL THEY PUT DOUBLE OIL IN MY CAR, DIDN'T CHECK THE LEVEL. ENGINE IS GONE

Do yourself a favor next time, and use the BEST and one of the few 100% synthetic oils, not Mobil 1.

Go 1 year or 25k miles, and you won't have to see those people as much. Better yet, do it yourself.
$25.00 to $30.00How much does a full service oil change typically cost with full synthetic oil?
in mass. maybe not, but in civilization thats high. Better learn to do it yourself if you want to use that high dollar synthetic scam stuff. regular old 10w-30 is fine if you change it on a schedule.
Prices of oil itself vary state to state.



I.e. I was shocked how much a quart of oil cost in Tennessee compared to Pennsylvania.



When you see a "$20.00 oil change", that probably means using a coupon, for a standard filter, about 4 quarts of conventional (non synthetic / dinosaur oil), labor and fluid disposal.



You can expect store bought Full Synthetic to cost atleast $5.00 bucks per quart (per individual quart bottle).



Sounds like they charged you $6.00 bucks per quart and $7.00 bucks for the filter and maybe fluid disposal fee ?

Give or take a few bucks.



I wouldn't consider Valvoline the most expensive oils, one of the best by the way :o).

Mobil 1 Full Synthetic is probably most expensive..or AMS oil.
With regular oil its around $27.00 at the Quick Slick.



Last time I got synthetic is was over $50.00
these places that do oil changes have their basic oil and their price is usually reasonable. but when you get synthetic oil they charge you their regular price and the full price for the synthetic oil. you do not get a credit for the regular oil that they did not use.
