Oil Change on a 2022 2SS
Hello,
It is time to do my first oil change on a 2022 2SS that I bought used a few months ago. I took it the my local Chevy dealer and I was quoted $300 @ $22 a quart Mobil 1 for my oil change and I thought that was a bit ridiculous. I looked around a bit on the forums and I think I was right to not get my oil change done there but I wanted to know if maybe this price is accurate now due to inflation. Also, I was told that I could void my warranty if I do the oil change myself. Is this true ? And if not what exact oil should I be putting in my car ? Because I was also told to make sure that if I take it somewhere else that they are using the correct oil. I do not plan on ever tracking my car if that effects the type of oil I should use. |

$300 for an oil change is beyond ridiculous, even by dealership standards.
I do it myself for $6 for a pf64 oil filter and I get the oil at about $6 a quart on sale at AutoZone. So that's under $70 doing it yourself. Dealers get the oil and filters in bulk for much cheaper than that. I wouldn't pay a dealer anything as I don’t trust them to check my tire pressures, but I wouldn't pay more than $100 for an oil change done by a dealer.

You want an AC Delco PF64 Oil Filter and you'll need 10 quarts of one of the following oils: Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP Formula (Dexos 2) Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP X3 (Dexos 2) Mobil 1 0W-40 SuperCar (Dexos R) (Dexos R is backwards compatible with Dexos 2)

Thank you guys. I will probably get it done myself then, with an Uncle's help. Also, 2SS* Capt, I am a huge fan of your build man. I am looking into getting MRR017 wheels too, since I currently have the carbon flash metallic wheels.

If you'll be doing them yourself, you might want to pick up an oil filter wrench for the PF64 filter. I picked up a nice aluminum one on Amazon for under $10. Makes it easy to remove the filter if it's on their really tight.

Thanks for the tip man. My uncles sort of a mechanic, I’m assuming he should have one ? Or is it a specific wrench needed for our cars ?

I have a similar car to yours, 2SS non-1le with MRC and NPP, except mine is black. Looking to do some of the same mods you have done. Will I be forced to get the wider 285/305 tires if I buy the MRR017’s?

It's best to use the Dexos rather than the European blend

By the way, the normal price for Mobil1 0W-40 oil should be $7-8 a quart, I never paid more than $120 for an oil change at the dealership. These people are trying to take advantage of you.

You'll need wider than stock tires since the stock wheels are 8.5" & 9.5" wide and the MRR017's ar 10.0" & 11.0" wide... Trust me, you'll appreciate the extra grip!
