Price of Oil Change in Surronding GTA Area

How much is an oil change costs? I just had my oil change last week and it costs about $60 with tax. It seems a little bit high, consider it uses regular oil.

Simone does it for $20-$30 depending on how busy, bring your own oil and filter.

10 bucks if you bring your own oil and filter, consider 10 bucks for my mechanic to jack the car up etc is worth it.

I'm thinking 10 bucks for labour, bring your own oil & filter. That's CHEAP. Just be sure to get yourself a good Wix,Amsoil or other good quality filter, not a Fram POS.

You could always take it to a Nissan dealership as well. I used to do my own oil changes in the past on all my vehicles, but since I got my first G I have just been taking it to my local Nissan dealership. They only charge $29.99 plus tax so I figure it's worth it to get them to do it instead.

Your mechanic must either be a fool or a good friend if he does that for $10.

It costs nearly that to dispose of the oil.

+1, $10 does not pay for anything.

Yeah, it could be just a throw in due to all the other work etc. I was kind of J/K.

Being in business we know you can't open a bay door for that, let alone account for labour, disposal, equipment, space.....
