First oil & filter change at 3300 with 7.5qts of Mobil One 0-40W, and a purolater plus oil filter. Did it myself. After removing the cover (4 screws) plug and filter in plain view and easy to get to. I would recommend doing this yourself. Oil cost $52, Oil filter $10, crawling under the SRT under ramps and takin a look...priceless. I thought I read that dealerships were charging close to $100.

OK, Stupid question time. I measured the old oil at 6 qts. When checking the oil during the first 3300 miles it looked fine, and always in the "safe" zone. What gives?

 

Just had mine done for $71.31 and I didn't even need to wash my hands. I'll gladly pay 10 bucks for the benefit of not having to dick around under the car.

 

Fair enough Bob. This was a teachable moment with my 14yr old son who loves cars. I don't mind getting a little dirty knowing that its done right.

 

I get all my servicing done for free at my dealership (theoretically). When I bought the car, I purchased a service plan (which is good for as long as I own the car) for $1500. The plan covers all parts and labour for servicing that is outlined in the manual.
