Thank you Murray and ,,, DAL,, as I posted its a 2019,, therefore a C7, not C8,,, The question was not aimed at affordability,, it was aimed at paying a " fair" price,,, happy to report went to Champion Motors in Scarborough, great crew, and fair price,, and established a relationship for future maintenance, mods, etc. They specialize in Vettes only..
I paid $250 for my 2015 Z51. It has a dry sump and requires 9 litres of Mobil1. They hose you on the price of the oil. For a base, $250 sounds high.
Talk to your dealer or a dealer. I supply the oil (Mobil1 Dexos) and my dealer supplies the filter and changes the oil and does the maintenance check. Cost to me is $45.
I also supply my oil + a K&N filter. I’m paying $60. + tax. At $45., you’re getting a good deal. In NO, we pay more for anything.
Just cuz some of us have a shop and shitload of tools, doesn't mean everyone does. Wrenching isn't his thing. Big deal. But if I could get someone to do the job with my oil for $45 like Eric does, I wouldn't bother getting the ramps out. That's a hell of a deal.
By a shitload of tools you mean a wrench? By a shop you mean a driveway? Changing oil isn‘t wrenching, at least not by my definition. Time? I can change oil on my C8 at home in less time that it will take most people to drive to the dealership and, as an added bonus, no wash bay Nascar wannabe is given the keys to my car
You ae so busy patting yourself on the back you missed my point there superstar. Not everyone can spin wrenches. Not everyone wants to. And his question at the start of this thread was a valid one. Has to be some Corvette tax added to have a $250 oil change. Oh and Al, twice is never enough. Maybe just one more time, for those that might have missed it, explain how fast your can do an oil change. .
For my Grand Sport I buy two 4.73 l jugs Mobil 1 at Crappy Tire when it is on sale and leave on my shelf in the garage for later. I was fortunate the last time I bought because they had a package deal including an extra 946 ml for around $45 all with Dexos. However, watch what oil is on the CTC shelf. My local store has 3 different types of Mobil 1 oil for sale on the shelf but none of those say Dexos. They keep the good stuff in the back of the parts department so watch the labelling, it is not all that it appears to be. Not all Mobil one has Dexos and the NHL logo besides.
It just so happens Mobil 1 5W30 is on sale now at C.T. (at least at my store). I bought 4.73L of ESP Dexos 2 5w30 for $35.99 on Thursday
I have yet to encounter a dealership that offers cold beer with an oil change , lol .
Time has very little to do with how oil gets dirty or accepts moisture. Running the engine through hot cold cycles is what really promotes contaminants in the oil. Yes, over time oil sitting in an open can will absorb moisture, but that takes significant more time.
