Since when is Jiffy Lube $20? $35 suckers. And I can change the oil in my truck for $12 and do it in 10 minutes. I change the oil in both my MC's as well, and save more than just a few $'s. The cars OTOH are another matter. Both need to be lifted to get to their oil filters, so they go in for service. It's hard to do service on most modern vehicles. My mother-in-laws benzo you can't even touch, except for the tire pressure and wiper fluid.

I wish I could change the oil in my car. Its so low from the factory that a lift or pit is required to do the job effectively.

yea jiffy lube is way more money than $20. Especially if you buy into their claims about the vital need to have your whole "engine flushed" or whatever the fuck they say to justify charging $60 to change your car's fluids.

Obviously written by a women. Had it been more realistic, I think there'd be some more extra steps in there. Here. Let me make some changes to the steps.

2a. Jiffy Lube lacky enters lobby with some "doohicky" called your air filter and says it's dirty and you should change it (despite the fact that it was just changed the last time you were in). You agree.

2b. Jiffy Lube lacky returns and says you will get better mileage and your engine will last much longer if you purchase their oil additive. You agree.

3. 15 minutes later, swipe your debit card for $100 (who the hell writes checks anymore anyways) and leave...totally oblivious to the fact that you pretty much just bent over for $60 of totally unneeded work.

and some lucky winners get the secret step....

4. Jiffy Lube idiot in the "pit" doesn't replace your drain plug washer/gasket and reuses it. Overtorques the plug and damages or stretches the threads in the pan. Decides it would be best not to mention this to you and lets you drive away. Next time the plug comes out, it destroys the pan and it needs to be replaced. $500.

5. Never return to Jiffy Lube again.

You would be surprised how easy it is to work on Mercedes. There may be more things to take off and put back on, but overall pretty straight forward, especially simple things like oil changes.

i beg to differ. it is actually easier to service newer vehicles, even a new M-class benz.

lets see
older car fuel filter every 15k or 30K miles

newer one. 100K miles and on some never.

old car distributor cap replacement and plug wires

new car- what the hell are those???


older car new plugs every 30K miles.

newer cars. 100K


older car. oil change and filter change every 3k miles

newer car every 6k OR MORE miles <see service manual>



and an oil drain plug & filter is the same on new cars and old cars, well some use a cartridge type filter now. that means remove a cap and put a new filter inside a metal can < originally a very old car design like on my 1960 chevy truck>


and i saw this in a Car Craft magazine in like 1996ish.

My local garage is $20 (Valero at Capital and Snell). The guy there kicks ass.

Jiffy Lube is for suckers.
