A friend of mine goes to Jiffy Lube to get his oil changed, and was telling me the prices.
He wrote them down. He drive a Honda Accord.
Conventional Oil
Regular: $24.99
Signature: $31.99
Synthetic Blend Oil
Regular: $44.99
Signature: $51.99
Full Synthetic Platinum
Regular: $61.48
Signature: $68.48
Full Synthetic Ultra
Regular: $87.34
Signature: $92.34
I am absolutely flabbergasted at the price difference between conventional oil and ultra synthetic oil. $60.35!!!!! Preposterous. If your vehicle holds 5 quarts, that's an up charge of ~$12 per quart. I have been to enough auto parts stores and Walmarts to know that synthetic is a little more expensive.
I went to Walmart's website and here are the prices on 5 quart jugs of Pennzoil.
Pennzoil Yellow - $14.97
Pennzoil Synthetic Blend - $19.97
Pennzoil Platinum - $24.97
Pennzoil Ultra - $26.97
Now, my math says that the difference between conventional Pennzoil and Ultra Pennzoil is $12, not $60.
You know darned well if it costs us that little for Pennzoil's best, then Jiffy Lube spends next to nothing on it.
