My daughter's kids broke the back window of her Dodge minivan. It was over $1200 for a junkyard replacement.

WOW! Since I do almost all of my own (non warranty) maintenance I had no idea of some of those prices. Some seem like down right highway robbery. You guys need to invest in some tools and learn how to do some of this stuff. Then again, if you would "gladly" pay to stay clean, I guess you can't complain about the cost to do so. |

So I would guess that is not unreasonable with all that oil and that filter. | Definitely man! I'm amazed at how much oil these DOHC motors take! The 1.6L in my brother's Nissan took like 4 (well, about 16 if you count the 12 in between oil changes LOL) , my mom's 3.3L Highlander takes like 5 and the V8 W140 S Classes take 8.5, and god only knows what the V-12 S Classes take!

I'd rather get dirrty than dirty, but I can't seem to have luck with either.  |

I agree with you guys (and everything I know about working on a car was self taught from reading the FSM).
Wish I had more/nicer tools. |

The most expensive service I had done on the Escalade was $1111.12. That replaced the rear brakes/emergency brake, oil change, tie rod ends, and transmission fluid and filter.
