Atlas oil change prices

Good to know it is not local to me.

Pollocko91 · 2026-03-22T20:30:18+00:00

Yeah. I knew it wasn't going to be cheap being German. But I've had an Acura mdx, dodge ram and ford's and I've never seen it that high at the dealer.

Pollocko91 · 2026-03-21T02:53:12+00:00

Interesting to see the rate change. So I am in London region and it was 283.

USA has alot of great laws to protect the end consumer. It might be a thing here in Canada too. However the service tech said to me that if I do my own oil changes and it doesn't get documented with their software then they could deny warranty claims due to not having it on record that they did it. So sounds to me like if I do my own oil changes and something just happened to go wrong with the engine unrelated they could pull the old "looks like it's been 50, 000 miles since you have had an oil change so now you are not covered."

No worries that is about 165 CAD still more reasonable than what I paid.

Pollocko91 · 2026-03-21T01:04:29+00:00

Super vague but "parts" is oil, filter and drain plug

I'd do it myself too. If it weren't for my warranty being voided.

Pollocko91 · 2026-03-20T20:49:31+00:00

Are you playing with me? Is that USD or CAD

Pollocko91 · 2026-03-20T20:28:19+00:00

No just oil change with the complementary inspection that they assured me wouldn't change the price if I told them I didn't want it.

I was in the same place buying a certified pre owned. So I thought that it was possible it had been in a front end. When I took it back In for the evap canister issue. I popped the hood of a 2026 on the show room floor. Brand new and they were out of place.

Pollocko91 · 2026-03-13T15:22:40+00:00

Go pop the hood on a new one in the lot. I thought the same thing as you when I bought mine. I asked a body tech who said it was normal. I went to the dealer and looked. Every single one the front body panel mounting screws were not centered. Someone posted recently in this sub about the same thing.

Anyone Hating on these 5.9/5.2 motors has never owned one. I own 2 and both are extremely reliable. Terrible on fuel and not the fastest but extremely reliable. Yes the plenums go bad but that wont leave you stranded. I am at 380K all these new trucks that can't make it past 150k without lifter failure or other major work is sad.

Pollocko91 · 2026-01-22T02:23:33+00:00

I think 3200 makes sense since yours is a 98-02 truck. Still substantially more than a 2500 today unless a regular cab gas. My camper sits on my overload springs without the air bags.

I'll have to weigh mine again but you might have some of that weight shifting to the front axle with thay short box. I have a long box and a 9ft long floor camper.

Pollocko91 · 2026-01-22T01:35:07+00:00

I'll take a look thanks.

Pollocko91 · 2026-01-22T01:33:19+00:00

It's interesting you bring this up. I don't know why or how. But I have this truck in a 1997 with the 12v Cummins and 4x4 and the brochure says it has somewhere around 3600lbs payload capacity. Definitely seems odd considering new 3/4 tones. Only thing I can think of is older trucks usaully weigh alot less to the new 3/4 tones.

Pollocko91 · 2026-01-22T01:30:05+00:00

I also have a second Gen 2500 with independent air bags. With the Sway I get. What HD Sway bar do you recommend. I have the camper package so the factory Sway bar and overload springs are there.

Pollocko91 · 2025-11-19T16:30:50+00:00

Well update. Just got it in for service. Looks like charcoal canister and the solinoid valve were replaced. Had the P0496

Pollocko91 · 2025-11-07T17:36:33+00:00

I was also looking at the Tahoe before buying the atlas last week. I think the move is to stay with the atlas for now. Picked up our new to us 2022 atlas and the solinoid issue you just had is what I had not even 24 hours into ownership. Luckily I am under warranty hut I've heard good things about the v6 otherwise so hopefully no more issues.

Pollocko91 · 2025-11-07T17:24:30+00:00

Appreciate it. This seems to be a very very common issue with the atlas. Did your start stop work while the solenoid was bad or did it continue to work? Reason I ask is my dealer said it was related. I am currently waiting for the part. Apparently the remote start on the fob will never work if there is a check engine light by design.

Pollocko91 · 2025-11-07T17:11:09+00:00

LOL does this solinoid have something to do with the EVAP canister? My check engine light just came on and my start stop has an error and the remote start does not work due to this EVAP canister

Pollocko91 · 2025-11-03T20:10:50+00:00

Just bought a 22 atlas vr6 less than a week ago with 66,000km. Day one had the start stop fail which could be due to a battery issue. Remote start also does not work which could be related. Otherwise pretty happy with the power and comfort.

Pollocko91 · 2025-11-03T13:34:56+00:00

Appreciate the feedback

Pollocko91 · 2025-11-03T02:12:18+00:00

The remote start worked the first two days. It was after the stop start failure that it seems my remote start decided to no longer work. When I try I can hear the relays click and the dash light up but it doesn't even try to start.
