If I do the math right: it takes about 1/2 hour - 42.50
typical car takes about 5 qts oil at about 4.00/qt 20.00
filter - about 7.00
that is about 69.50 + tax and disposal fee = about $75.00
Now I don't know what sort of loss leader deal Sears has going on, but I would guess that it is likely about $30. That plus travel to and from Pahoa.
The Pahoa deal doesn't sound like such a bad deal after all. Plus you support a local guy trying to earn a living.
Now if I did not do my own maintenance (as I believe every driver should), it would be a no brainer for me.
