My Local VW Got The Memo

[Zee09]

They finally wised up.
They were doing a 6 qt oil change and filter for $59 and a few months ago They jacked it up to $79...still cheap with 504 oil.
Today the special is $119.
Jiffy Lube would charge you more than that.
I only used them for freebies. New sales must be slow.

Jiffy Lube wouldn't give you 'cred at BITOG, so there's that.

For good reason...

They would also tighten your drain plug to 100 ft-lbs or more

Local Chevy dealer is $106/6 quart INCLUDING tire rotation

I was paying at least a hundred at VW years ago. You’re right your dealer wasn’t paying attention.

I guess they looked around. They are in the middle of an auto mall.
Weird..

I guess I’m lucky. I haven’t had someone else change my oil for 40+ years.

You mean cross-thread your drain plug to 100ft lbs

Some newer VW engines use a plastic drain plug that only turns so far (o-ring makes the seal with the plastic sump).

They seem foolproof, but I’m sure there are ways around it.

Mityvac is a game changer for my atlas. Can skip the dealer.

My GLI has a plastic drain plug. My oldest brothers F150 has one, too.

The guys from jiffylube laugh at me and call me a weasel when I vacuum the oil out of the dipstick tube. These newly minted auto technicians, fully seasoned french fry chef's say: 63 years old and never learned how to change his own oil! j/k

I recently did an oil change on my brothers Honda and the lube tech used a air gun to tighten the drain plug.

I needed a breaker bar to loosen drain plug.
