Do all oil change places use cheap parts?

Sure they might use a name brand oil, but most oil manufactures don't make filters. I've only had my oil changed once at a quick change place. (I needed it changed and it was like 20 out and in the middle of winter) When I took off the oil filter I noticed how cheep it looked. The fluid holes were smaller then name brand filters and they even had metal burrs on the holes which could of broken off and got metal chips in my oil. They will also sell you a $20.00 air filter that's worth about $3.00. It will have less fins then most air filters and a rougher mesh to compensate for the lesser area of air flow. You can go to a auto store and get a better filter for cheaper. Are there any oil change places that use name brand parts? Is a dealership your only option?Do all oil change places use cheap parts?Your best option is to buy Mobil1, take it to the dealer of your car and let them use their OEM oil filters to service your car if they aren't available at Walmart.

Do not ever think of having your oil changed at Walmart. They store their lowest dollar Fram filters UNCOVERED in steel racks in the shop area with heating fans blowing dust and dirt all over them. Untrained, non mechanics do the work.Do all oil change places use cheap parts?Welcome to America

just demand Fram filters, everyone redesigns their filter from Fram filters more-or-less.

off brand filters go by the dimensions of the filters and thread size, after that they don't care.

oil change places have low-overhead, dealers have a large building, employees, ECT, their price will be higher.Do all oil change places use cheap parts?They use the cheapest parts and charge you as much as humanly possible for them.
