You talked about "risk to your engine" and "guarantee what is going in your engine". There is no risk to your engine, and you know what is going on when you buy tested and approved oils, simple.
Using full synthetic increases the oil change interval, because it preserves the oil characteristics for a longer period of time. Simple.
The two are not incompatible, one can buy generic full synthetic oil. See?
It is you, not I, who is trolling.
The risk is putting non full synthetic oil in the engine, regardless of modality, and also not knowing what a shop is putting in, unless you watch them like a hawk. Nobody is getting 4+ quarts of full synthetic plus labor for anywhere near these prices. Unless the oil change interval is less than 1k miles, the difference still matters, ESPECIALLY in cold weather. Tests have shown, for example, performance improving additives, such as those that maintain fluidity (lower viscosity) at low temps, begin breaking down meaningfully even at 1k miles in standard oil, even fully graded and inspected oil, decreasing lubricity at startup and increasing long term wear and likelihood of premature failure.
Changing your oil over shorter intervals with standard oil will not protect your engine as well as full synthetic even over longer intervals, especially in cold weather. It also adds up having to do it more often in time and money, hampering it's financial benefit, and definitely making it a logistical burden for those who value their time at all.
So, worse performance and higher risk to the engine, not much less money if at all, and much more time. Great advice. Just splendid.
The service was very quick(less than 10 min) and the staffs are very friendly. Overall good experience.
With the coupon, the conventional oil was $26(with tax) and the full synthetic was $86(with tax).
EDIT: now I know why they don't give prices online. $129 for a synthetic change on my 2013 Lexus GS350. what a rip off!
I'll stick to buying my own filters and oil on sale, get my trusty local Indy to get it done. all in, I'm usually around $40 or so

However, my experience has been slightly different. I've had my Honda minivan for 17 years and only changed the oil once a year disregarding mileage. Use all kinds of oil regular dino, blend and full synthetic and various viscosity 0W-20. 5W-20 but mostly 5W-30. Whatever oil and filter I could find on sale. I've never had any engine problems now that I'm at 170,000 miles. The engine does not use a drop of oil or smoke, runs well and I still get 26 miles per gallon on the highway, which is similar to what it got when it was new. Long as you change the oil once a year it really does not matter.

and took a screenshot of the barcode I received in case the shop didn't have service when I went in for my oil change.

Pull dipstick, push in tube, pump out. Replace dipstick, swap oil filter. Fill oil. No need to even remove the drain bolt with a Mityvac.
Why go into these oil change ripoff artist places?
Get a Mityvac and do it yourself, it will change your life.

As an example, the transmission (I know we're talking engine oil, but I've seen this on regular oil dipsticks as well) dipstick tube on my minivan has a bump stop at the bottom that's well short of the pan, to allow for consistent fluid level measurements, since the dipstick enters the pan at an angle. The mityvac would only get roughly half the fluid out that's in the pan (not even talking about what's in the torque converter).
Also, I'm not sure a mightyvac will reliably suck metal particulates up, whereas a drain plug should allow most of them to flow out.

On current sienna, oil freaking filter is a cartridge seated in a shell that needs to be reused under the car. So changing the oil with Mity might be not a problem, but swapping the filter is a hassle.
Yes. You turn off your car and put your keys on the dash.
About 15 minutes but both my brake lights were burned out (oops) so they changed them as well... I didn't want to take the time to get to those lights on my car cause they're a pain in the butt to change.
They don't do appointments.
They check all of your lights and those were the only thing I was upsold on cause they were burned out. They took out the engine filter and showed me it and said (looks good - we don't recommend replacing it) which is good cause I replaced it a few months ago haha.
They found no issues during my visit and haven't on any other visits. The only thing the groupon doesn't cover is taxes/government fees which came out to about $6. The bulbs and installation for them were $19 each which was a tad pricey but as I said - a pain to replace.
