I take my truck to the dealer because it is the cheapest alternative... usually around 70$ although its possible the price has increased since my last oil change in the fall......

While the dealerships charge an arm and a leg for a quart of oil, they build price they pay and use in their shops is quite different.....

I myself have a full size GM truck, with 8 qt. capacity.... The dealership that I use is still be best option... I have talked with various garages and you Jiffy lubes and because of the extra capacity their charges jump quickly...
