    Called a few TA's about pricing and a Loves. Looks like it's around 300. Anybody use Speedco? How much is yours and your experience?

    Our local Volvo dealership was running a special a few weeks ago for a $199 oil change.

    I use speedco only and with the upgrade to fleetguard filters it's right around $300. My favorite Speedcos are Lodi, Ohio and Joplin, Missouri.

    I am about $5-600. Good oil, good filters, good service. Not a guy making minimal wage doing the service. If you can try tit have a good small town shop do everything.

    Truck stops are ok but just be carful as they don’t care about you as the chance they see you again is slim. If this is a cheapo truck then sure run her to the ground. If not oil is like $100-180. Filter can be $50-175. Greasing takes time and if they don’t check or don’t care to check for anything else then what’s the point. To each there own.

    Remember protect the money maker.

    10 gal oil $100 (bought in 300 gal bulk)
    First oil filter $26
    Second oil filter $34
    Fuel filter $31
    1 tube of grease $3

    Done by me and only me.

    Doesn’t take 2 hours start to finish but I know it’s done right and completely. Also gives me a chance to put my hands on stuff under the truck I can’t see every day.

    I do it between 15k and 20k miles.

    I try and do a grease job every other weekend if I can. Takes less than 1/2 hour usually.

    Depends on what engine.
    Sapp Bros gives you a free meal.
    And old S60 oil change is only about $220. Tell what oil you want. Delo is number one right now with all trucks I've saw lately filled from factory with Delo.
