That is pretty good. I would never take my truck somewhere to get the oil changed. Mostly because its unbelievably easy to change it on my truck, and secondly there are a lot (emphasizing the A LOT) of morons at places like that.
Agreed, it still only takes me 20 min to do mine. Not having to jack the truck up FTW

I just got back form getting my oil changed.
5 quart jug of Mobile 1 from Walmart..........$26.00
Mechanic shop that changes it for me.........25.00
Coffee while waiting...........................no charge
_____________________________________________
.............................Total................ .....$ 51.00
I just had it changed in September, but it was dirty. I usually change it every 6 months. So it was time. The truck seems to run quieter, just like new.

Bad back, gravel driveway, no garage, limited tools, plus it's 19 degrees out here today.
For $ 25 bucks the mechanic also goes over my whole truck and tops off all fluids that need it. Lubes up the doors, ect....and gets it all done in about 20 minutes.
He usually charges $59.99 for an oil change with his synthetic oil, but I prefer Mobil 1, so I supply the oil. He is a bit pricey, but does an excellent job, and hops on it right away.
I want this truck to last a long time, so good quality frequent oil changes is a must for me.

Close, but the Jiffy lubes around here charge $40 instead of $20, and they smear blue snot on the filter and drain plug, and they use a crappy ProMotive filter, and what-ever-they-want-to-use bulk oil, and usually leave all the fluids well below "full" when they top all the fluids off.
