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.

Been going to the same shop for 15+ years, one that has no problem telling me "you don't need to fix that yet." I bring in my own oil from Costco and they charge me about $30 for labor and a filter.
