Dealership $100 for 3 synthetic oil change offer

[The Critic]

My dealer's service coupon section lists an oil change offer - $100 for 3 synthetic oil changes. Up to 5 quarts. I think it is a Mopar national promotion. Since our trucks take 7, I would expect some upcharge ($10-20?).

Does anyone else use this promo? What are you being charged for the extra oil?

Edit: Called Zeigler (factoryplans.com) - they looked up my vin and said I can buy the “Essential Care Platinum Synthetic” for 6 years/12 oil changes for $580 - this works out to $48.33 per oil change. No oil upcharge, no taxes and fees. I think this might be the better way to go.

I just saw it today on my dealerships website.

Local dealer sends them all the time in the mail. CATCH IS > > > It only covers 5 quarts. Doubt the dealer will let you provide the other two quarts. They want $$$ off the other two quarts, shop supplies fee, and oil disposal fee over what the plan cost.

Even if they want $8/qt for the other two quarts, $49 is a pretty good deal. It costs me $37-$38 for 7 quarts of Platinum 5w-20 and a Mopar filter.

Can you buy this and use them over a year or two?

The fine print says you have up to 2 years to redeem.

Yeah the old deal was 3 full synthetic for 150 and they haven’t ever charged me for the additional quarts and I believe that deal has the same fine print. Guess it depends on the dealer

Looks like they stopped offering the tire rotation that was always included in the oil change offers. Now just a multi point inspection. That really sucks

For what it's worth - I asked a similar question in the powertrain forums about how much everyone pays for their oil changes. When I mentioned the 3 for $100 a few ppl said they don't charge extra at their dealership.

Dealer here does tire rotations anyway with that package.
. No Charge.

My dealer has the coupon listed under their dealership, however, they will not honor it

I bought the one for two for $65 and used one almost right away and have up to a year to use the 2nd one. Normally my dealer charges $89 for the hemi and full syn so 2 fo $65 was a deal. I did was not charged any extra but I also did the tire rotation which was $31

That's not a bad deal at all if you use them all. I wonder if all dealers would honor that.

I think all dealers are required to honor the corporate Mopar extended warranties and prepaid maintenance plans.

Seriously? It's an FCA promo, and the plan # is listed.

Technically it says “valid at participating fca USA llc dealers only,” but it is probably bad taste to not be a team player.

 

[CrookedLetta]

Yeah, I wasn't happy about it. I will give it another shot and ask the Service Manger's, Manger.

I bought this plan a few weeks ago. Paid $100 + tax, had my first oil change, and no upcharge for extra quarts.
