USNA12 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Hey all doing a big cross country next week, and was hoping someone had an AP that can help with an oil change within a 2 hour flight of MYF. Im used to paying about $150-175 here on the east coast with me bringing my own oil and filter, so hoping for similar! I understand the sunshine tax but I got quoted $450 with me bringing my own oil and filter, so looking at what else is available. Thanks in advance!

ArtVandelay Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 You can do it yourself if you want, no AP needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

201Mooniac Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Depending on your model, Top Gun (MSC) is 2 hours from MYF and they do great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecornfields Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I think for the price range you’re looking for, you may have a hard time getting someone to do it. Spending $200 on fuel to save $100 on an oil change might not make a lot of sense either. Maybe you can ask @kortopates to talk you through it for the mere price of a steak and lobster dinner. That should cost about $150-175. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be cheaper if you don't bring your own oil and filter. What model of Mooney are we talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
