I always change my own oil and until recently always used the absolute best, Amsoil synthetic oil. However, because of the cost, I recently changed to using Royal Purple synthetic oil. Having three cars, three golf carts, a diesel tractor that takes 10 quarts of oil, a zero turn mower, an ATV, and several pieces of small engine equipment, Amsoil got too expensive. Royal Purple is a small step below Amsoil in quality, but is still a very high quality product at about 1/3 the price. As far as what an oil change costs, I have no idea since I do it myself. That being said, the cost could vary significantly based on both the quality and quantity of oil as well as the quality of the oil filter. I like to use WIX XP (extended performance) oil filters. Don’t cheap out on inferior quality oil and filters, it will cost you a lot more in the long run.
