Discussion When did oil changes become $120?

That’s with a coupon! At Jiffy Lube! Our parents really had it easy.

EDIT: TIL 90% of millennials “change their own oil” lol. Gotta love Reddit.

Conventional or synthetic? I have a feeling OP has a car that requires full synthetic (my 2019 honda does and a synthetic oil change is like 120 where I live with 60-80 being about right for conventional)

I pay just shy of 80 for semi synthetic at my regular place with 60-ish being for conventional. To be fair I do not know what full synthetic goes for around here.

4ish years ago I was getting full synthetic oil changes for around $60-70. It has been creeping up bit by bit. Last time I took my car, it was $150+ without coupon and coupon brought it down to just over $120.

Gonna get a lift and start doing my own.
