Oil change price quote from dealer ....
#43
I can't believe this thread is still going! Nothing like an oil thread to start some friendly debate just my humble opinion but done properly I'm in the camp of take it from the top. I remove the filter, suction the small bit of oil from the filter mount, clean up/cover with a rag, and remove the rest of the oil. Is there a little but left? Maybe a very small amount but honestly just about any car will have residual, the new oil will dilute and the new filter should deal with anything significant left over. So much faster for us guys without a lift.
Shall we discuss what brand of oil is the best? (just kidding!)

Jaguar doesn't do everything right but their setup for doing oil changes was certainly the one thing they did get right on their cars. Now if they could just make sure their "Techs" are trained to not over fill that would be another opportunity for them to get something right. Something tells me they won't be taking that opportunity, particular given their car selling future of "maintenance free" EVs and the like ;-)

Like buying tires. WHY do the stores ALWAYS fill all tires to 35 PSI???? They have to open the drivers door anyway...that is where the recommended tire pressure sticker are displayed.
