There’s a Mazda dealer next to the Subaru dealer where we bought my wife’s Impreza. When I pulled in there were a bunch of people milling around these Miatas. There’s 2 rows of them. They had gone inside by the time my oil change was done, but I briefly checked out some of the cars. Some of them were pretty nicely modified.
Also, an oil change for a 2016 Subaru Impreza is $60 *after* a $10 coupon, because the dealer charges $40 for 0W20 synthetic oil which you can’t get most places, and then another something or other for filter and labor. My wife was kinda pissed when I told her that but I calmed her down by explaining that at least the oil change interval is 6,000 miles.
I’d shop around for other Subaru dealers but the only other one in town is another location of the same company. Oh well.

The Mazda dealership charged me $60 I think. 0w20 oil. I do my own now for $25-30

I take it to the dealer in order to avoid any potential warranty issues.

0W20 synthetic oil which you can’t get most places
Really? I see 0W20 Mobil 1 all the time at Wally World. The jugs with the green cap.

Yeah, my V6 avalon takes 6 and 3/4 quarts. So I just buy the oil on sale for like 40 bucks total and then, go to the dealer pay 10 dollars and get the oil changed!

I may have made that statement based on having looked for it a few years ago when my wife had a ’13 Civic and 0W20 was less common. So, a 5 qt jug of Mobil 1 0W20 is $25.47 at Walmart . Really what got me is they charged goddamn $23 and change for labor on a damn oil change.
They give you the $10 automatic discount, and coupon to the full service car wash place down the street to make you feel better about it but still.
Also the service guy gave me a hard time about it had been a year and 6k miles and he’s all “the service interval says 6 months or 6k miles, I’d hate for you to have trouble if there were some kind of warranty issue with Subaru.”
