Last oil change 6 months ago UpNorth was $35. So I guess I'm from Earth, maybe just not Florida, Earth.

All the threads I searched were more about oil change intervals, not cost.

Is there anywhere reputable around here (including nearby outside bubble) to get an oil change for under $50?

Sorry, that $50 will not even cover the cost of full synthetic oil and a new filter. As noted above many new (or newer) cars recommend oil changes at around 10,000 miles, much longer than the old regular oil at 3000 to 5000 miles.
I use Wildwood tire, and they are cost competitive.

. At the price of oil these days, I do not think so. And it all depends on what vehicle you have and how many quarts or gallons it takes and then if you use synthetic or base oil. Both of my cars use synthetic and hold 9 quarts. The oil itself is more than $50. IMO and I'm a gear head, the best deal is WAL Mart. 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.

Try Sumter Tire and Auto - Rt. 301 - Wildwood, FL. They are a family business and very reasonably priced and honest.

I don't worry about oil changes...The engine will knock at you when it's time to change the oil :)

Geared here, 8000 miles on oil, no way, unless you want to buy engines. That figure is used so that you need a new engine the day after the warranty☺️ expires. Ask ANY mechanic!
