It doesn't have to be expensive. An oil change with Mobil 1 provided by a shop is often upwards of $90

My oil changes are about half that with Mobil 1 if I take it to a shop because I can always find 5 qts of Mobil 1 at Walmart for $25-28. BYOOil to your favorite shop and you should only have to pay labor - typically between $10-15. Add a few more $ if you don't bring your own oil filter.

Yep, already planning to.

It tended to flicker during long drives that included a lot of stop-and-go, and then also sometimes during idle (while at a light or something). It wasn't coming on during every drive.

Yeah, the guy at my shop said a Mobile 1 change would run about $100. If I switch, I'll definitely look into bringing my own oil.

Thanks!
