Ok, so If I go to autozone, pepboys, etc. I can get the diy oil change (5qts and an oil filter) for about $15 (plus tax).

So how do all these $20-25 oil changes do it? They have to pay for labor (probably 20mins for one oil change), and the location every month, and insurance, etc etc etc.... ?

How much could they possibly get a wholesale price of oil and filters for?!?
