They have a very good selection of major brands and nobody even comes close dollar wise. I buy my oil off the shelf, go around and get a quality filter. Then go to their service dest and have them install what you just bought. They charge $29 for the service which is more than reasonable. I use the
WalMart on 466 before 301.
That's interesting. Have you compared the price of the oil and filter plus the $29 service to the price of their full service change? Does that really save you much money? Are you buying a certain brand of oil, maybe?
