The synthetic oil change isnt one of their bring you in type deals. thus they overcharge for it like they would most any other service.
Its like a super sale at a grocery store or something. Bring you in, hope you buy a ton of other ****.

that makes sense i guess. i mean obviously the answer is that they gouge you just like they would for anything else... i just find it funny. so basically if i walk into some shop with synthetic oil and filter etc all in hand and ask them to change my oil, they ill charge me more money in labor than they would have to do the entire oil change with conventional including parts. this is why i never go to shops
