To have an oil change on my Duramax at the dealer, it's over a hundred bucks. I can do it myself for less than half that, and it takes less than an hour, so it's well worth my time to do it. And I can usually find semi-synthetic or full synthetic diesel oil on sale, so I'm using better oil than the dealer would provide. It takes 10 quarts of oil to do an oil change on a Duramax.
The dealer also charges over $100 to change the Duramax fuel filter, which is usually a more unpleasant job than the oil change. I buy Delco fuel filters on Amazon for about 20 bucks. Huge savings to get a little diesel on you.
I do the oil changes on my gassers as well. The cost savings isn't so great, but I always use Mobil 1 so again I'm using better oil than the $50 dealer oil change.
I think for the person that doesn't want to do their own oil changes, the dealership oil change deals are a good value. GM dealers use a semi-synthetic Dexos oil, not as good as Mobil 1 but good enough.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
