Idemitsu Moly Oil Alert

[MyFirstMazda]

I suppose it depends on the area, but figuring filter+oil costs it approaches what I can just take it to a shop to do price wise. Granted they'll just be using generic oil, but if saving money is a factor for doing oil changes yourself (which it is for me), then I can have name brand oil and still be cheaper.

Oil $24.48
Filter $7.51
Crush washer $0.25
1/2 Quart extra $4.18

So $36.42 for my DIY oil change. I waste money buying the single quart of oil because they charge a lot for one quart of Castrol ep. I rather not break open another 5 quart bottle for half a quart.
