Jeebus that's expensive :shock:

[sweetbmxrider]

[NJ Torque]

300 if you have a Porsche Cayenne.

Nothing surprising, really.

[BonzoHansen]

The moronic comments afterwards are even better. Then again I love comments idiots make about cars they cannot even come close to affording. I assume because their spelling & grammar are so bad they cannot fill out the app at McDonalds correctly.

haha POTHETIC> there SALES PITCH ABOUT CAR SPECIFIC FLUIDS...(*********)

redline and royal purple woulda done JUS fine. the only reason its so expensive for the stuff you bought is because it was prolly imported hell...
Yes, let’s put the wrong fluid in a trans, especially one that appears to have trans issues. I’ll bet this jackhole would have used “good ole dextron”. I remember when Chrysler came out with its own specific formula auto trans fluid. When you used something else the trans stopped shifting.

I don’t see where the article mentions vehicle mileage. This might bother me too:

Our service advisor also noted that our right-rear tire had lost a strip of rubber on the inner edge, metal was showing.
I guess if it is over 20k miles then ok, but it’s a 2009 model. I wonder if this is the 15k service.

1.5 hours labor seems a bit much, but you are right, you pay to play with big $$ cars. But the Porsche probably takes 10+ quarts of oil. IIRC older 911s took 11 qts.

My 924 holds 7 quarts, and its only a 2.5L. We should open up a national GTR service shop

I'm talking just labor... no parts involved.

Also, @ what milage is all this?

[Tsar]

I'm talking just labor... no parts involved.

Also, @ what milage is all this?Well total cost of (213.23 + tax) an oil change is still less than a Porsche.

I just don't get what's so surprising. I would never pay that because I would do it myself, but hey some people don't like doing that.

Yep. My dad's 930 takes 11 qts so that's the expensive aspect of it.

I enjoy the simpleton comments as well. That's right Johnny BigNuts. That team of engineers that designed a fluid based on years of engineering work and fluid dynamics testing doesn't know ****. Neither to the guys that designed that trans. You know better, because you've been doing your own fluid changes for years. Go ahead and run your regular oil, you know, the one that's designed around compatibility with the most amount of vehicles so they can sell it to the most amount of people. And **** additive packages, that's just fancy talk for extra profit.

[CamaroJoe1987]

obediah!

[sweetbmxrider]

[insert tsar's quote here]

what about the tranny change? what about the special tools required to perform said oil change? you know its not just a box wrench and filter to get $150 in labor. come one now!

[Frosty]

That's too funny...

[Knipps]

You missed the best one
thats like BUYING 8 bottles of high end champaign. haha
:rofl:

[maroman88]

hhahah suckerssss... i keep seeing GT-Rs around... allll with outa state tgs

[Tsar]

That's too funny...
What's the funny part?

[enRo]

Holy Fock. :shock:

"Hi, TD bank. I would like to request a personal loan to get my GT-R a Basic Maintenance Package thank you."

[madness410]

holy testicle tuesday

[98tadriver]

knights of columbus thats expensive!

[Teds89IROC]

Holy Fock. :shock:

"Hi, TD bank. I would like to request a personal loan to get my GT-R a Basic Maintenance Package thank you."


:lol: yea really

[Tsar]

All of you who are surprised by the "cost of maintenance" should facepalm yourself :lol:

Even my moms Caddy SRX has an "expensive" oil change. Dealer wanted 175 bucks just to change oil. Where's the outrage now? :lol:

[sweetbmxrider]

:lol: thats because you are getting ripped off!!!! dealers are always expensive but that tranny fluid change blowsssssss

[Jam]

Viper tune ups are pretty damn expensive as well as M6s, Jaguar XKs, and Hummers

[NJSPEEDER]

Any dealership service on a high end vehicle is like this will be pricey. Someone shoudl look up the scheduled maintenance costs of a ZR1, I bet they aren't far off. As mileage goes up it only goes higher too, Ferrari timing belt service is a $3-5k job depending what model you have.

It does make me laugh when people complain about specified fluids too. There are vehicles out there that are actually that specific in their needs. Most cars can get away with whatever oil, but that ends once you start getting into engines and parts that are getting pushed hard.

[Jam]

well there are also lower costing cars with rip off service bills: like the subaru imprezza.

[sweetbmxrider]

its funny because gt-r's are an affordable "super car" (used loosely) and are this pricey to maintain. z06's are about the same price and don't require this special treatment, along with other cars of the same class. i don't see many high hp cars on here or other forums using that special of a fluid to cost over $100 a quart!

Your mom is getting ripped big time. 6qts of its the 3.6, 8 qts if its the Northstar. The 3.6 is GMs corperate V6, and the Northstar is about to hit 20. ANYONE spending that more then 50 bucks on a commmon vehicle like that is getting ripppppppped in the ass. Just an FYI.

ZR1 has a small block chevy with a 10 qt dry sump oil system. While it is hadn built, its simplicity and design make it easy to work on.
I wouldnt be surprised if the ZR1's maint. service intervals are no different then say, a Z06's.
And hey...if you drive it normally without racing non stop...the brakes should last you forever. w00t w00t carbon ceramics. I wonder how much that 11 rib belt is...

Special 0w20, 30, 50, etc oils seem to be popular with higher end vehicles. 100 bucks a quart...amazing. Just breathtaking when you compare the 6spd auto inthe CTS-V that takes 12 qts of Dex 6.

That's what I told her, and then proceeded to teach Andy (my step dad) how to change oil. :lol: One doesn't even have to jack up the car to drain it, I don't know how they could possibly come up with 175 bucks... I think their total comes out to less than 50 bucks, and it takes him less than 30 minutes.

[BigAls87Z28]

Yeah...I belive your 3.6 has a cartridge fitler to where you just open up the canister from the top, throw it out, put the new one in, drain it, fill and start it up to check for leaks.

Yup, simplest oil changes of any car I've ever done it on.

Ferrari Enzo - 3,000 mi. Service - $4,400 (USD)
McLaren F1- 6,000 mi. Service - $44,000 (USD)

[sweetbmxrider]

those prices match the cars overall price tag IMO

[NJ Torque]

huh?

[NastyEllEssWon]

subaru charges a lot for their services on their higher end models the same as gm charges higher labor rates for vettes.

[Frosty]

the same as gm charges higher labor rates for vettes.

Which is ironic because they're not THAT bad to work on.

[jims69camaro]

MELON-FARMER!

that's over the top. i guess the funny part is the douche that pays that much to have his fluids changed. that's like getting jacked from behind and not getting the common courtesy of a reach-around. sure, go ahead and buy your top-end fluids but, cheese-and-rice, do the labor yourself.

[PolarBear]

Honestly 150 for labor is not that bad. I took my friends X5 to Princeton BMW for an engine code and oil change. Check the code (Pretty sure it was) $280, change the oil $280, CHANGE the rubber intake Elbow $280, Rubber intake elbow $12. And the elbow was really no different or more difficult than on a TPI f-body. I just about threw up right there in the service department. The owner had never used the service department before and wanted to know why the bill was so high so they got the manager over and he started in on the BS. I told him how it really was and then walked away, then I told the owner to NEVER go back there

[Mike]

dealer oil changes on my ss were between 125 and 150............

[sweetbmxrider]

:rofl: god damn! i need to open a dealership!

No kidding.
