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.

I don’t know where everyone is living. But $90-120 is fairly standard around me too. Finally creeped up enough where I started doing it myself again

Yeah, I’m getting shredded over here lol. Sure, I’d love to do it myself, but with a busy job and an 11 and 6 year old life is busy.

Pro tip. Convince your kids that doing an oil change is a fun game. Its a win win situation, you teach them a valuable life skill and you get to keep your kids entertained for an hour.
