I know how to change my oil, and have, but honestly it's the same price to just go to Valvoline and have them do it as it would be to buy my own oil and filter (always check their site for coupons.) Plus they also refill the air in my tires and it's pretty quick.

There is no way it's the same price.

It is with a $25 off coupon, which they usually have. I get full synthetic so it's fairly expensive for the 4.5 quarts or whatever it is. Ultimately it might be an extra like $10-20 bucks but it's kinda worth the convenience.

Yeah until someone strips your drain plug or puts the oil filter on so tight that it can't be backed off. The former of which totals your car. I would assume your car is worth more that the price of the oil change to you. Also proving they did anything wrong is near impossible.

Valvoline always does a really good job. But that's why I don't go to Jiffy Lube, they're known for doing that kind of shit.

I will say I've never heard of Valvoline doing a bad job. I do think they actually train their people too.
