I knew I was getting screwed but wow.

$160 last time I got an oil change at the dealership.

There is usually one bottle that meets spec in retail stores, and it is $80 alone.

I kick myself for the VW diesel pretty consistently, but I still have some time left on the Dieselgate warranty extension.

Canadian prices?

$160 is pretty common for a modern vehicle synth oil change. I wouldn’t call that highway robbery and especially not in Canada.

It is pretty common. The warranty has probably saved me thousands at this point and having them maintain the car is the easiest way to make sure it stays valid.

Pre-COVID I was doing full synthetic (Mobil-1) for $25 a bottle on sale plus a $15 filter in my other car. A good sale is $45 now.

Everything feels like highway robbery now.
