I plan on doing the same for the Xfire. I'm sure the oil is a little pricey but the filter and the labor should be no more than $15. Now if you have a Boxster that is a different story. I've heard the oil changes in one of those are upwards of $300! That is just plain bad engineering...
The oil our XF's use is mobil one synthetic, it runs around 5-6 bucks a quart. And our XF's use damn near 9 of them. You will have 50 bucks just in oil. Just glad I negotiated 3 free oil changes with them when i bought the car.
