That's the price for full synthetic 6 qts. If you like search Groupon for their non-discount prices. Sometimes you can get a 40% discount at the shop near you, but not always. I don't always have the time to drive to the place with a discount.

I just looked at the prices for motor oil at a large chain near me, and 5 qts of full synthetic is $20 (so 6 would be $24). That's a retail price, presumably shops pay less for bulk purchases.

If your prices went up by $60 this year, it wasnt because the oil is more expensive.

You just overpaid. That’s not inflation.

I’d recommend your local dealership or Walmart in the future. Oil changes might be the only thing dealerships typically have reasonable prices for.

It’s not. Just canvass your local locations. They have gone up.

They haven’t around here, speaking as someone who just had the oil changed on two vehicles for the second time this year. The prices here are the same as they have been in recent years, but I don’t use Groupon.
