Just got my oil changed for the last time here in Oz - last time it was
mixed in with other services, so I don't remember.
It's cost me the equivalent of over $70! For regular oil!
Please tell me it's not going to be that expensive for a simple oil
change in the US! (Dakota, takes 5 quarts).

Huh, you are not doing it yourself?
Did my Hemi the other day, 8 qt synthetic and filter and it was less
than $50 total. (And about ten minutes of time, most taken by a stuck
oil filter!) >> Stay informed about: Sticker shock! |

For a typical vehicle using non-synthetic oil the typical rate is
$20-$30USD. Diesel trucks are closer to $70. >> Stay informed about: Sticker shock! |

That's the initial cost! Then there's the engine replacement, etc. because the
bozos phucked up.

Saw that at my dealership. A new CTD Ram with only 7000 miles on it was
in the shop with a scrapped engine. The owner had it changed at some
quick lube joint and the filter disintegrated internally causing a
blockage.
Wouldn't a clogged filter cause a low oil pressure warning or is the
sender prior to the filter? >> Stay informed about: Sticker shock! |

I used to, for years. But I can't reach the filter in this truck, I'm
too short 
Back in the day, our buying decisions for a vehicle included whether or
not we could reach the oil filter & plug, since hubby isn't overtall
either, and we both preferred to change our own oil

Guess you have not seen those steps they now sell in the stores. It hangs
over the tire.
