I had a friend who worked at Jiffy Lube for awhile, and he specifically said never to bring your car there.

A dealer oil change should be $80-120, tops. Otherwise, what's wrong with doing it yourself?

[quote=NOVAX5]why not donovan? i bought my OEM oil and filter @ BMW and have Jiffy Lube guy change it for me total = $77 even with a courtesy overall check. Do it 3 times a year = $231. DEALER wants $240 for 1 time and say its good for 1 year. If it were you which option would you do? I would take 3 oil changes over dealer 1 change any time. All they do is lift the beast up and drain oil out, replace the filter, put new oil in. Different people take care of their X in different ways.[/quote

I'm not trying to pull u out from jiffi, but check your dealer prices, I never heard about $240.00 oil change. at my 2 local dealerships they charge me $88 with tax included...

well, not to start "that" debate all over again, but the synthetic oils and todays filters will last well beyond that unless you're driving hard or in dusty areas and don't need to be changed that frequently.... just my opinion.
