I think $75 for a mobile oil change is too much. But considering I do my own oil changes on my 68 trucks, 5 quart container of VHI Valvoline is typicaly $34 and a Wix oil filter is about $13, it's close to $50. Then my time to crawl under and drain the old oil and filter then replace usually takes me about an hour, but I like to take my time and make sure everything is as it's suppose to be. So I guess paying a mobile mechanic $25 isn't too far out of line.


I had a girlfriend many, many years ago and we were fixing to go out of town on a trip. I told her we should change her oil and filter before leaving. Took it to a JiffyLube. Seems that the forgot to put oil back in the motor after draining out the old oil. We had the car towed back to the JiffyLube and they put the oil in that they forgot.
