About how much is it for your oil change?

Gills (use to be at kliens t/s Fresno)
Building new place across from loves I Tulare. Not sure on the new place yet for prices.

cat c-15 in central cali-. $275.

Cat filters
Rotella oil

 

N14 Celect Plus
Less than $100 and 15-20 minutes done by me. Every 10,000 miles.

5 gal bucket under the pan, open quick valve. Fill bucket and switch with another. Get that one going and break filter loose. Done draining, close valve, slide bucket over, unscrew filter and drop in bucket. Fill new filter, screw it on. Large funnel, add 9.5 gallons of your favorite oil and done. I use Traveller oil from tractor supply. $17.99 per 2.5 gal jug. Filter is around $25.

Greasing takes about 10-15 minutes and a $4 tube of Mystic JT-8. Every week.

 

You have a fumoto valve. Jealous.

 

Goes in the empty tote and the oil guy picks it up when it’s full. You can see it there on the left. That’s just outside the back door. The full one is just inside the door. Our drain pan has pump and hose and is on wheels.

Drain oil from engine into pan. Roll over to tote, plug in and put the hose in tote. Flip switch.

I used to buy 5 gal pails and just put the old oil in last times pails. I can take it to the township and drop it off or dump it.

 

I pour mine from the 5 gal buckets into a tote in the shop and we use it in the burner for the floor heater.

Just about all auto parts stores these days will take it for free. Or find a shop that can use it for heat and give it to them.

 

200.00 oil/fuel filters, and grease. Done buy myself. Its cheaper to service semi, than my harley.

 

$450 for my last full PM done at a Mom n Pop. Great people, very careful and done in about 1.5 hrs. This included everything but air filter. They let me hang out in the shop and I learned a few tricks from the 2 old school wrenches working there. I always do this when I can. Priceless knowledge.

This one was about 1 hour from my house on the way home on a Friday, first time I've used them. I plan to use Speedco or whatever I can get done on the road about half the time and pay more for better attention like the place above every few changes.

I have a shop not quite big enough to put my truck in and could do it at home but with the other 5 cars I'm always playing with and maintaining when I'm home I'd prefer to just have the truck done.

 

I used to wrench, then manage a few shops before i started driving. Had a lot of owner ops ask me why the price was higher than speedco. My answer was because if something is wrong my guys will find it. Oil and filters by application and normal 2 hours full pm. Every nut and bolt inspected front to rear. If brakes or clutch needed adj that was included, and tires checked. Didn't take long till my shift you needed a appt for. I told them I'm servicing your equipment like it was mine. Hangout or hit the breakroom. We will take care of it. I would allways do a freebie for a owner op. Like they come in and need a tire change and had a spare. For me 15min. For them the world. Tell them you don't owe me. Now that was the best advertisement I couldn't buy.

 

I stopped by Bruckner's Volvo in Farmington, NM today and got an oil change with Volvo filters and a grease job for $199.
