Just spent $48 on an oil change

[drrman]

Changed at 1,160 miles on my 06 2.3l Ranger

5 qts Castrol 5w-20 syntec full synthetic motor oil = $27.13
Motorcraft oil filter= $3.56
Labor = $17.31

Knowing that you have the best protection available when you're sitting in New Orleans' post Katrina bumper to bumper traffic = PRICELESS

LOL, i just spend 58 on my corvette....it required mobil1 synthetic or warranty is void....why do you need full synthetic in a ranger? do they require it?

If you go to walmart and pay for them to change your oil, they take 4 hours, that would be like 100 bucks
good thing they dont charge labor

That's debatable. New Corvettes, Vipers, and other high performance cars come from the factory with Mobil 1 full synthetic. "Break in" is accomplished pretty quickly with today's manufacturing tolerances.

In the bumper to bumper traffic I've been experiencing I really wanted to get synthetic in the truck.

didn't read your post, you answered my question....synthetic is good i agree, especially if you plan on keeping the vehicle an extended period of time, although some manufacturers recommend not using synthetic until well after the break in period.

Do you have to use Mobil 1 or can you use any synthetic in a Vette?

5 qts in a 2.3 liter seems a bit much.

Yeah it only took 4 qts but I purchased 5 for the first oil change. I'll only have to purchase 3 next time.
