I use Speedee for my Ranger as I did for my Dakota before it. I get synthetic
(Mobil 1) which they pour from individual bottles (conventional comes from a
pump). I think they charge $69 but that includes, checking and topping all the
other fluids, vacuum the interior, quick vehicle inspection and a windshield
wash.
I've been stocking up on Mobil 1 at Autozone, they keep having sales where you
get 5 quarts and either a Bosch or Mobil 1 filter for $29.95. Then I take the
filter with me to Speedee when I get the oil changed on the Ranger, they use it
and credit me $5 on the oil change... I do that because I can't get MB oil
filters at Autozone and they won't give the $29.95 deal without a filter.

I
called the local BMW dealer just to check on a price for an oil
change. I thought I might try going there, tell them I am a new BMW
owner and I figured I could get a free inspection. In my experience
the dealer will look it over a little better for a new customer to see
if they can find any problems and sell some additional service. BUT,
when I called asked them how much an oil change was, they said about
$115! Seriously! I asked him what they included and he said just an
oil and filter change! WOW! Why would anyone get this done at a
dealer?! If this was my only option, I would definitely change it
myself. I think I will stick with my Indy who charged me $38 on my 126
300SEL and $29 on the Cadillac and Grand Marquis. This BMW takes 8
quarts of oil, but I can't imagine it being more then $40 for the oil
change. Oh well, I think I will avoid the dealer.
