Yeah... it's $40 for normal oil and not a bad deal. I got every oil change for the first 60,000 miles plus some at santa cruz subaru. Their normal oil is fine.
If you run synth you can bring it and I think they charge you like $20. I had them do a bunch of those while I was apartment living. I switched to synth around 60k.
Their syth oil changes are over $80 and it's what they do for ALL the new cars.

if it gets cold enough that can apply here...i know a few people have taken their bugeyes to get that line replaced
on my car something similar happened to you, i was smelling gas, and it turned out that my fuel filter (by the TMIC) had somehow come loose and i was getting fuel smell on cold starts and WOT

Yeah this.
I bring my own oil and have them change it and the labor only cost about $15. One time I had a coupon for $10 off of the 7,500 mile maintenance (which is just an oil change and tire rotation), the damn thing came out to be like $92 after the coupon
Seriously? $15 for an oil change and like $75 to rotate the tires around? If I knew it was going to cost that much I would of just done it myself.

Yeah. The dealership is NUTS. I prepaid when we got the wife's forester just so I wouldn't have to deal with it.
Oil changes for the wife's car are almost $90! Then toss on another I think $75 to do a tire rotation. Friggin B.S. Jodice... I made the same mistake as you... ONCE. I was like...WTF. I can do that myself in like 12 minutes.

haha damn at my work we do free tire rotations and brake checks with oil changes...seriously takes an extra 5 minutes
i love having access to a lift at work...i just buy my own oil/filter etc and the labor is free if i do it...all use of power tools, wheel balancing machine, alignment rack haha
when i get bored at work ill just rebalance and rotate my tires...keep them super fresh haha

The times I used motul I got it during services at LIC... I am considering royal purple too, I used it in previous cars and liked it. Might run some RP for awhile then send it to the lab and see how the car likes it.

But if I could get a bulk order of purple for about the same price that would be rad. I have one killer oil change ready to roll on my car but I'm saving it for when I do my diff fluids. Need to buy that too.
