Every couple of months the auto supply stores in my area usually advertise various synthetic oils on sale, or with mail-in rebates. Within the past 6 months I was able to purchase 2 cases of Valvoline full synthetic for 99 cents/quart after rebate (it retails for over $6.00/qt). My dealer wants $140 for an oil change and tire rotation - and DOESN'T use synthetic. He'll never see me for this service.

~$30 for 6.5qts of oil and one filter kit. It costs me a 1/2 hour of my time but I have the satisfaction of knowing it was done by one the most caring professionals concerned with my Lexus (me).

If the oil change is around $50, I think its worth it at the dealer.

Your car get a light clean after an oil change. Or warranty if something stupid happen. Unless you're a perfect guy that doesn't make simple mistake.

Later when you decide to sale your car, there's a track record at dealer service for the potential buyer. That's extra brownie points!

Walley World is by far the cheapest place to purchase oil.
