what are you guys paying for oil changes / basic scheduled services from the dealer?

It will run you around $90-100 if you go to the dealer.

Buy your own oil and filters.. save yourself around $50

I have been paying about $42 for a oil change, with bringing in my own oil(Mobil 1 from Walmart in the states is $22) . Still pricy, but I want to make sure that they don't give me a hassle for warranty.

My local dealer charges $100 for a Mobil 1 oil change. They said if I bring my own Mobil 1 and filter, they'll do it for $36.

My GTS oil change was $28.06 here, taxed in. Brought my own oil(Mobil 1), and they only charged me for the filter/labour.

i am told i have to have reg service done with every oil change
tires rotated, tire sensors reset, general inspection etc and then a report sent to mitsu canada

oil change with this reg service is around $160, a bit ridiculous if you ask me

Mobile 1 Synth from wall mart (5 quart) and OEM filters from RusselM (on EvoM) and do the change myself. Whole thing only sets me back about 30

That is total BS!
When i bought the car I asked the service manager what the cost of the oil change was and he basically said the same as above..... I was like, I don't think so. I am NOT going to pay for them to check warranty items ie: brakes...
Finally got him down to earth and came out to be about $42 with my own oil.
I would suggest a different dealer.

When i bought my car my dealer offered me a package that consisted of 400$ and includes the first 16 oil changes for free. Has anyone other than me had this option offered to them. I have been for 3 services so far and all three of the were free.

Just bought my EVO a month ago. I'm told that it will cost me around $100 for an oil change at the dealership. Interesting, but one dealership was able to look over the prices at another dealership and said to me that the other dealership was "twice the price, how do they get away with that?". Interesting...so it appears that each dealership has their own set rate they charge for waqrranty maintenance. I just found out that my dealership just sold me a paint pen for $32 that I find out is $15.50 at every dealership and on the website for that price too. RIPPED-off!!! Also they will try to get you into the dealership Q3 months for oil changes for that outrageous price of $100...make you feel that your warranty will be void if you don't. Not the case...there are two different service recommendations...aggressive service recommendation and "regular"...Apparently Mitsu recommends "twice a year" oil changes for the EVO, is what the second dealership told me. We all need to figure this all out before we get ripped off badly.

Anyone here in Canada have any other info?

When did you buy your Ralliart that you have already been in for 3 oil changes? What dealership do you go to in Ottawa?
