TIL the cost of an oil change for a Bugatti Veyron is $20,000. (artofgears.com) submitted 37 minutes ago by Palana. 8 comments; share; save
The oil change came to $210, which, quite frankly, is the most expensive oil change I have ever seen. The car takes nine quarts of high-grade synthetic oil which cost $52. There was also a filter that cost $23. The rest of the bill was all labour. I was able to reduce the bill to $170 by using a $40 coupon. Still, $170 for an oil change is a record for me.
