Most places DO advertise an oil change WITH the oil filter included in the price, but sometimes puts a restriction on the quarts of oil included.I have a coupon for valvoline $25 for a synthetic oil change, but I find the cost reasonable, but I like valvoline in that they include the oil filter change in the cost of the oil change.
If you can get that FIRST damn oil filter off! LOL$0 for labor
Just my time to do it and the cost of oil and filter. I’m guessing $35-40 total.
No way I’m ever paying a dealer.
You got that right. They were TIGHT on my last two RAMS. No idea why the factory puts them on so tight. Seems like they don’t lube the rubber seal either. That doesn’t help. Light oil coating on the seal, turn the filter on till it touches the mount then 1/2 turn by hand. Easy off every time and never had a leak in 250,000 miles between two RAMS. No need to wrench it on.If you can get that FIRST damn oil filter off! LOL

That is a national campaign. Any RAM dealer should be able to offer that package.I called Mopar and got 3 full synthetic oil changes (7 qts) with tire rotation for $181.90 including all taxes and fees, have 2 years to use them. Without tire rotation it would’ve been $150 + tax. The dealership looked it up by my VIN, didn’t need anything else from me and I was in and out within an hour. No appointment needed. Nice and easy, no issues.
Looked all over online and didn’t see anything that showed the full 7 qts and/ or included the tire rotation which I wanted. When I called they told me you can’t buy it online anymore. Don’t know if that is true, but I couldn’t find it online.That is a national campaign. Any RAM dealer should be able to offer that package.
If you sign into your MOPAR.COM account, select your dealer, then go to Coupons/Offers it should show.
Dealer here just honors the # of oil changes the coupon is paid up for. they don't charge for any extra quarts.Looked all over online and didn’t see anything that showed the full 7 qts and/ or included the tire rotation which I wanted.

Took my Ram in for an oil change plus tire rotation last week and cost is around $150 after taxes and fees. Seems steep! How much are you paying?
Thanks!
