It really comes down to the level of confidence you have with the quick lubes. I don't know what they charge but can assume it will be over $100. It's actually very easy to change the oil on the XF if you buy the oil vacuum/pump as the filter sits on top. I would consider going this route even though I stopped changing my oil many years ago, because it's so easy, but I have a lifetime of oil changes on my XF from the dealer. I really encourage you to read the threads on this topic. There are many opinions, and tips especially around the oil vacuum option.
