went to get parts for an oil change on the Volvo the other day and the filter was $25

 

[einride]

i should change my oil, havent done so for at least 1½ year uke:

 

[lurch70]

yeah, new car "any" type of filter is a ripoff from the dealer.

i just replaced the air + cabin air ones ... dealer wanted over $100 for both "installed" ... got the OEM's off the internetwebs for $40

 

[dorian gray]

it was the Purolator that cost $25 I dont want to know what Volvo would charge

right now, there is oil running down my driveway btw I'm taking a break to eat lunch while my water supply gets contaminated

[dorian gray]

[dorian gray]

hey, thanks man. Only problem is I've sworn off anything and everything from Sears....like just two days ago

my oil change cost $100, btw hahahaha I had to buy a special wrench and I used EIGHT QUARTS of Mobil 1
It was still less than taking it to Volvo. I've read the labor alone costs $65

 

[neal]

EIGHT QUARTS

holy shit

 

[dorian gray]

indeed

r u serious

whats with this forum's penchant for butt-ugly cars

 

[MFJ]

i gotta agree with erik. no offense, dorian. i hope it is everything you have hoped for.

but i saw one of these with my girlfriend the other day and we both, at the same time, just started shouting about how horrifically retarded it looks. but hey, a good vehicle is a good vehicle.

 

[dorian gray]

hey guys....a Juke R is SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
I was just kidding

although, I will admit I'd drive a regular Juke if I found one for hella cheap. They're supposed to be really fun.

Speaking of ugly cars, I have to comment on the Kia Soul. There's ugly cars....and then there's the Soul. It actually hurts my eyes. It's an abomination.

Wooo hoooo!
