Anyone know where you can get a synthetic oil change around here reasonably priced, or any promotions? I searched, and just came up with an outdated thread from '06. Before everyone flames me for not doing it myself, if it was summer I would. But the ground is cold and wet, mobil 1 and filter would be $30 without the labor, and i can make more money sitting at my desk on here for an hour than this will likely cost. Comparitive Advantage. ---

Full synthetic on your Trailblazer at most shops will probably run you around 70-80. I know delta sonic charges like 65 for mobil-1, but only up to 5 quarts. I believe your Trailblazer takes 7. They charge like 6-7 dollars extra per quart over 5 quarts. I’m guessing that most shops will be in that ballpark. For the future when it warms up, in case you didnt know, walmart sells mobil-1 for 20 bucks for a 5 quart jug. ---

> [@ubengineering](#): > > bring it to my work 2mrrw, 30 bux for a 80$ oil change, buts its gonna be a standard filter pm me about it Word. fortunately i’m used to 5k synthetic oil change intervals, but when I looked today it said 21% remaining, so screw it for now. Checked the dipstick and i didnt burn any, so a month or 2 and i’ll either man up and hit up wal mart, or PM you. Not gonna get overzealous on a lease. ---
