5$ USD - no way - You must have this wrong - looks good otherwise


I think that's labor only since the quantity/type/cost of oil varies so much. Ditto for the filter. walMart prices the same way.

A Utility Co up in So Cal, with there fleet small trucks
does not change oil, they just repalce the filter
and top off the oil. I understand, maybe wrong, that
oil doesn't loose lubrication but gets dirty, causing
wear

Bruce, saw the truck pics and had to look outside to make sure mine was still there. I've owned mine since new, she's got 340k miles now on the original motor and tranny.
