Add $15 the dealer charges for labor and that's one hell of a full syn oil change.
5 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum at Walmart is $23 for me. Then $6 for a NAPA Gold filter.

Forgot to mention that I brought the truck in with 1/2 tank of gas. They filled it up without me asking because they put on 47 miles during 3 different test drives. just wanted to share that Stealerships don't always suck.

What the hell were they doing putting 47 miles on your truck for three test drives?

Seems a bit excessive but they did everything right by me. 1/2 tank is like 17 gals so still ahead even with 47 miles on the odo

Thats one hell of a deal on Mobil 1..... I used to run Mobil 1 but switched to Amsoil at 32K after the dealer recommended it over Mobil 1. A close friend of mine bought his Viper at the same dealer I bought my truck from and they use Amsoil in all the SRT vehicles.

I noticed a mileage improvement of close to 2 mpg's on the highway after switching so I just stuck with Amsoil ever since considering most of my driving is Highway.

My Dealer is just like yours (except the gas replacement, lol) they go way over and beyond to make sure I am satisfied. (But it does help that my brother is a tech 2 there)

Gotta say, I'm a bit skeptical about a front end alignment that cheap. I suspect the steering linkage replacement covered the alignment.

Alignment is covered by warranty for 12mo/12k. All I had to pay for was labor for oil change and rotation
