How much do you pay for an Oil Change?

I don't like the idea of those suckers, seems to me it would leave a lot of crap behind in the bottom of the pan.

I agree and it's why I don't use it on my cars, but I can attest that it has very strong suction as I've operated it. I think it's a good alternative for people who can't get under their cars, but want to change oil themselves.
I still think it's best to crawl under the car to check on others things while you are down there.

This is why I keep wanting to buy a nice mid-rise lift.

Put 31x10.50s on that awd =) you won't have any problems getting under it. Lol(Sorry for the silly comment, but it struck me that I've done a 180 on automotive taste)

lol! I enjoy anything with wheels and a motor, so rock on!

Have you seen what some of the guys have done with the awd sx4 crossover? It's one of the most versatile modding platforms I've ever seen. From lowered with performance mods to raised up with General grabbers, that platform looks good in all forms.

Just to verify, CarMax charges $40.95 for mobile1 synthetic oil change, fluid top off and drive train inspection. They would not give me a part number for the oil filter but they did tell me they get car specific oil filters from car quest. I hope it will have an oil retention valve in it. I called twice to get
specifics, it's like they do not know what oil or parts they use , very irritating, but price seems decent.

Third-party and aftermarket parts are usually pretty cheap, even dirt cheap at times, barely meeting specs. I always try to get a genuine manufacturer filter except for my domestic cars if a performance part is available. Or unless I'm running amsoil, in which case I use their recommended filter.
