For those who change their own oil.

I can buy Rotella at my local Sam's club for that price if I wanted to. $23.95 for a 3 gallon case. I buy in large bulk quantities or at least used to. I don't change oil enough to need that kind of quantity anymore though. Now I got a 1000 gallon holding tank outside my shop collecting dust.

 

How much are you paying in materials for your oil change? How often do you change? And how much does a shop charge?

Thanks

 

I give my old oil to the repair shop for his oil fired heater. I call him and tell him I have oil and he picks it up. He lets be borrow some of his tools(A/C machine and torch) when I need to so it really works out.

 

Eskimo only changes his oil something like every 200k. that's what he means by having an oil tank collecting dust

 

I didn't read that close enough. I got my first mulligan on this board, and I will garauntee it won't be the last. THX

 

well if you didn't already know you wouldn't have caught it. He run the gulf coast bypass filters. He only changes oil once on a truck if I remember right, then trades it at 400k or 500k

 

Man...You starting to know my operation better than I do. I gonna have to have you come run the joint for a few weeks so me and momma can go on vacation.
