I've called three dealerships for standard oil change quotes for my CPO 2015 F-Type 340hp:

Pasadena Jaguar: $240
Anaheim Jaguar: $386
Newport Beach Jaguar: $283

Why the fluctuation? Pasadena and Anaheim are both part of the Rusnak Auto Group so I'm a little surprised their quotes are so far off from one another.

I've read on this forum some have paid as little as $120 for an oil change at a dealership. Is there a special code or handshake I'm missing?

Edit: Let's add Galpin Jaguar to the mix: $325.

 

Pure greed!

 

Do you have your car serviced at the dealer? If so, what do they charge?

 

The last time I was in Las Vegas I went to the Jag dealer (Jaguar Las Vegas) and they quoted $380.00 + tax, and they told me I would have to wait two weeks for an appointment.

Instead I called a good indy (Kensington Motor Cars) and they immediately had me booked in for that afternoon. They performed the service in under 45 minutes for $120.00 + tax. (And this was a S/C 5.0L V8.)

Moral of the story is to find a good reputable indy, saves time and money.

 

I've never been quoted $380 at the Las Vegas dealer for service and there is always some kind of coupon. The only wait is usually for a loaner car.

 

I would but the car is under CPO warranty and the rumor is Castrol Professional E (what the dealers use) has a dye in it so they can tell if the car is dealer serviced. I don't want to run into issues down the line should I need to take it in for an engine related issue. That particular oil is expensive and hard to come by. I guess I'll bite the bullet and use Jaguar Pasadena (selling dealer).

 

The right oil can usually be found online for about $11/qt. The right filter can be found online or at the auto parts store. Your Indy shouldn’t mind it if you hand him/her the right oil.

 

Geez, buy yourself a Mitivac pump and do it yourself in 30 mins!

 

I'll probably go that route next time. It would be a good investment as we have 4 cars total and I like the idea of not having to jack up my classics and lay in the driveway to change the oil.

Which is the model of choice?

 

Well it works great on the F type, but be advised it won't work on all vehicles, need a siphon tube built in to the engine to connect the pump to, or an opening to feed a tube all the way down to the bottom of the oil pan (possibly dipstick).

 

$162 with tax in Ohio

 

My '17 R still has the 5 yr included maint.
But for all of my cars in the family, from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Jeep & last 3 Vettes, we bring 5 quart Mobil 1 jugs & oil filter to our local Indy shop, he charges a flat $20 for the service. Figured over 50 changes over the past 12 yrs with no issues...
Only one bad experience was my daughter brought her VW sedan to a quickie oil change place, similar to Jiffy Lube, when she was away in college, & it leaked oil until she traded in. Never again in those quickie places.
