I always wondered how the dealer could offer $39 oil changes for my truck, when the cost for the parts alone was just about $40...and there's no way of knowing if they put quality oil in there, let alone oil that meets Cummins specs.
I'll do it right, and do it myself.
Read that fine print
It's likely the $39 only covers 4 or 5 qts of oil, and the filter at the bare MINIMUM
I know that's how WM, Tire Kingdom, and Meineke are for their oil change services, the price covers 5 qts of oil, and the filter, plus whatever "extra" services they do (top off all fluids, wash windshield, vacuum carpet, lube chassis if applicable, etc.) and if your vehicle holds 6+ quarts, you'd be charged the cost of those extra quarts
Got a bud who works at WM and some people get really confused there they come in with big trucks, and see the price at the end after the oil change, and go HUH what happened to $30? But yea, they charge extra for every quart over 5
Then you got some places that will harge a "recycling fee" I heard about....lol. I think Tire Kingdom may have been one that got "caught" by this...as if they pay someonme to pick up their used oil - nope, they don't - they got tankers that pick it up for FREE - likely to be re-refined, reused, rebottled, or burned for fuel in the winter
