Hey guys. Always been doing my oil changes but found a place that does it for $25 given that I bring my own oil, filter, crush washer. Basically $25 for labor and they do it in 10 minutes... It's also a supposedly good place too. So in the interest of time and money, do you think it's worth it? Instead of doing it myself.

 

$25/10 min, that's $150 an hour. Fantastic!

If you have the means to do it yourself, i'd continue to do so. If you double gasket or strip your pan you'll only have one person to blame

 

I pay my local nissan dealership 26.20 to change the oil and filter.

 

A guy did my oil change (I provided the oil, filter, crush washer) for $10. Granted, the car was already on the lift getting coilovers put in, but yeah, $10.

 

For me, no way. Unless I were injured or in some other way simply unable to do it at the time, it's not worth it to me becasue I enjoy DIY. Plus I'm frugal. But if you hate doing it and have the money to blow, why not?

 

Including the oil or just labor? Sorry if this is a dumb question assuming that it includes oil cost if it didn't XD

 

They run through a checklist and provide all materials including topping off wiper fluids. It might have an infiniti badge but it's a nissan...

 

This seems to be the going rate for most places to do oil changes if you bring the materials.

I for one do everything myself if I can, that way I know it was done to my satisfaction. No surprise missing bolts or stripped drain plug or over/under fills on my dipstick.
