The $35 I was writing about was what they would charge me for the multi-point inspection, tire rotation, and changing the oil and filter that I provide. So, you have to add the cost of the oil and filter I would buy at Walmart to the equation. Which for QSUD and filter, would be roughly $42. For a total of $77.00, which is cheaper than what the dealer charges total. Plus, unless they royally screw me, I would know exactly what oil is going in the engine.
What filter are they using?
I think I would buy my own and take it in, that's $30 savings.
I also didn't know Mobil Super came in synthetic, when I bought my Lucerne I asked and they said Mobil Super so I just assumed it was the conventional/blend.
They don't include the filter...I would be bringing a Toyota filter purchased at Walmart for $6. Also, yes, Mobil Super Synthetic is a full synthetic: Mobil Super Synthetic You are thinking of Mobil Super, which is just a synthetic blend.
It is "synthetic" but pour point of -39 indicates low quality base stock. For comparison M1 0W20 EP has pour point -51 since it has hefty quantity of PAO. I use in 2GR-FE M1 5W30 EP and 10,000 mile OCI. UOA showed excellent results.
