Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils. WPTL's aims to provide affordable class programming to everyone in the community, including this class. The cost of oil has increased by 30% in 2026 alone.

Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils. WPTL's aims to provide affordable class programming to everyone in the community, including this class. The cost of oil has increased by 30% in 2026 alone. Since we are only a tool library, we do not receive any discounts or volume-based pricing agreements that would help reduce our costs.

Also please consider paying more, if you are able, to help cover the costs of hosting this class and others like it. ------ A few notes about our updated pricing: Each vehicle requires a different quantity and grade of oil as well as different costs for filters and other hardware which makes standardized class pricing difficult. -For example: a Toyota Highlander requires almost double the oil quantity as a smaller Honda Fit. Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils. WPTL's aims to provide affordable class programming to everyone in the community, including this class. The cost of oil has increased by 30% in 2026 alone. Since we are only a tool library, we do not receive any discounts or volume-based pricing agreements that would help reduce our costs.
