$320 for an oil change, is that a typo? Good grief, thought I had it bad when I drove a 1990 Cummins for a while. 13 quart oil change, bought my oil in 5 gallon buckets
I just purchased three each 5 quart containers of one of the oils that meets the Chrysler spec (Quaker State Euro Full Synthetic 5W-40) and a genuine Mopar oil filter (68507598AA) from Walmart. I ordered online and they delivered it to my door for a total of $101.12 including tax. Granted, I only need 8.5 quarts to do the job and will have 7.5 quarts remaining for the next job but a heck of a lot cheaper than the dealer…and I’ll know the job is done correctly! And yes, I save the receipt, take a picture of the jugs with the filter, another pic of the old filter after it has been replaced and the front of the filter box for warranty purposes.
Mopar 68507598A Oil Filter - $47.29
Quaker State 5W-40 Euro Full Synthetic 5 Quart Jug - $15.96 each - $3.19 per quart (8.5 qts x $3.19 = $27.12)
Total Cost of Doing it Myself - $74.41 per oil change
I even took the oil oil to Walmart for free disposal and had to complete their log for the 8.5 quarts of old oil and filter. I asked if they keep those records and she said they do for seven years. I can always ask for a copy (based upon the date of my oil change and the date I dropped the oil at Walmart) as additional proof of the oil change if FCA ever wishes to get nasty about me doing my own.
