Can you bring your own oil to an oil change place?

Can you bring your own oil to an oil change place? And if so, is it significantly cheaper to do so?

I will be using synthetic oil at Valvoline oil change, the kind they don't have in the bulk barrels.



Thanks.Can you bring your own oil to an oil change place?
You can bring your own oil they just won't charge you for the oil.
In the USA, most packages are pre-programmed into the computer and they don't allow for subtraction or items, only additional items, like... $x.xx per quart, extra quarts of oil over the 5 they have in the PM package.



You most likely can bring your own oil, but the price won't change because of no "subtraction" A cool manager might give you the difference in a credit, discount or merchandise, but I would say you're better off doing it yourself since a filter only costs an average of $4.99 (I buy Baldwin,Motorcraft or Wix/NapaGold/MileagePlus only) and oil disposal is free at almost any parts house... or garage that burns motor oil in their furnace/heater.



You also won't take a chance of having the "lube tech" who knows little about mechanics under/over-torquing your drain plug or oil filter. Yes, it happens all the time.Can you bring your own oil to an oil change place?
It depends on the place. For example when you take your car to most places they actually will not only NOT let you use your own oil they will only use the manufacted specified oil ratings or above.

Its how they make money. Secondly, 8 times out of ten if you were to buy the amount of oil and the filter (which they replace, included in the charge) it will cost you MORE to get the same oil in the amount you need.

HOWEVER, in your case your actually putting in something better than what they have like myself. If they will not put in a synthetic then u probably shouldnt be using them. So YES a GOOD place will do what you ask them to do but will likely reiterate that it will not be under any "unsaid" warranty that they offer
A fast oil change plave won't allow you to carry in your own oil or filter. Don't sweat it though, any new car dealer will!Can you bring your own oil to an oil change place?
you can and if you use synthetic it will be around the same price but if you use regular it will be like 4$ cheaper
You can, but that slike bringing your own hamburger to MacDonalds and saying "here cook this for me"
I took my car in for an oil change, I supplied the oil and I was only charger for the filter, in Scotland
i do no think that is a good idea
