A work aquaintance of mine has a 2008 SRT charger Told me that it costs her 100 bucks at jiffy lube to get an oil change. Why in the heck would it cost that much? Does it take special tools? Can something like this be done in your own driveway for cheaper? It just boggles my mind, but then again, my cars don't have computers...sooo anyone? eight

The words "SRT8" "HER" and "JIFFY LUBE" are the only ones you need to remember as to why it cost $100 for an oil change.
....that's why they call it a "lube job"

Ok, I kinda figured it was crazy!
I almost choked on my pepsi can during lunch when she said it cost that much.
Before I told her she was just bent over, I decided I better see if there was a trick to this "new car oil change" I was missing. I didn't know if something had to be reset or something space age like that!
I had to make sure I wasn't an idiot either!

I don't see much out of line with that price...at least up here in Canada. Oil filter....$4.95, 7 litres 5W40 or 0W40 Mobil 1 synthetic oil @ 11.00/litre....Add that up with 15 bucks for labour to boot!! Add some tax and a hundred bucks don't even cover it. That's what a service cost on a SRT anything.....unless you're using something cheap and cheezy!! Oh...and I might add... the 6.1 litre recommended oil fill from factory IS Mobil 1 0W40 or 5W40 synthetic. Anything else and you're using the wrong stuff.
