Two reasons. I used to work at a few of those quicky oil change places. One place our oil filters cost about $.79 cents each. Name brand with held to protect the guilty. Another time I was also feeling lazy and took my gasser truck into a quicky oil change place, I asked for 15/40 oil into it and the lube guy brought up oil jugs from down stairs with the seals already broken. If I do go to one of those, I am happy they got the drain plug tight and oil put in. That air filter you had replaced will probably be disgusting dirty in about 6 months, without a dirt road. Up-sales of inferior parts is the key to a profit margin. The mom and pop shop might desire your oil change to keep their doors open and might be a bit more flexible when your vehicle needs actual repair. They might also be inclined to use a better quality part. Not always, but possible. Quicky oil changes as a good rule, do not use quality parts.
"Meets OEM standards" Or "Exceeds OEM standards"? OEM being murky at best, See Chinese.
That 7 quart oil might set me back $21 and probably $12 for the same quality filters. $33 or $64? Think I can do it myself most days for $30. Or get a better quality filter and still save $20 and get the drain plug straight, not over-tightened or loosey-goosey.
I have seen most of the help and it's a judgment call.

Today's Featured Article - The Perfect Restoration - by Chris Pratt. Often, in quiet moments, I have wandered back in my thouhts to the many tractors I have seen over the years and wondered which one inspired me the most. Sure, we have a fond attachment to one brand and model or another, sometimes it was remembering that first time we got to climb up in the drivers seat and command that roaring beast, or maybe because when you see that special model, you can't help but see Dad on it, he's gone, but everytime you see a tractor like his, it's a like part of him i
