I am always reading how oil changes are high but ANY synthetic oil change is expensive. I pay $65 for an Mobil 1 oil change for my Pontiac Vibe with half as much oil and a filter that wouldn't rival the fleece one used in the Crossfire. In the future, when they bring all the small turbos to meet CAFE standards, everyone will be paying more for synthetic oil changes so you are just getting a small jump on the rest of the buying public.
