As a result of rising fuel prices, a number of shops including auto dealerships are charging more cash for oil changes.. Bill: You never showed up to the multiple meets I organized for the very thing you seek Is the oil in your crankcase 3 years old? lol..

Which brand oil filters do these $25.00 places install? In addition, Mobil 1 & a few off the shelf brands are not a true synthetic motor oil as its formulation is petroleum based. Do your research on the true synthetics if that is what you seek for your ride.

Anyone know of an alternative in Queens?

Are you willing to travel to Elmont LI 1/2 mile from the Belmont race track for a synthetic oil change that will not be a problem for lowered cars? Pm me for details


Unfortunately, 60 bucks is the going rate for synthetic oil changes outside of NYC Lexus dealers which will charge you 80 bucks for Mobil 1.. There is always DIY if you want to get dirty.
