I haven't priced synthetic oil in lots of years.
I looked earlier this morning at prices for both dinosaur and synthetic. I was surprised to find that K-Mart online had Exxon dinosaur for $2/Qt...everything else seemed to be in the $6 range. For synthetic, looked like around $15/Qt.Lloyd E Parsons-hh
But around here the dealer gets $40 to do an oil change and the periodic service with regular oil and filter. Hard to believe that synthetic oil would add $40 to the service.
$40? I'd check the receipts to see if they're actually using synthetic or not. If it is, then I'd suspect that they're using it as a 'Loss Leader' to get customers in the door.
