Mine runs right at $85 because I use 5W50 Mobile 1 and there is only one source for it that I have found in North America. I get my fleece filters at autozone for $14 each.

If you are paying someone to change it, well, don't complain at $107 because that is, I believe, the lowest price I've heard of.
Two gallons of Mobile 1, a filter that wholesales for probably over $8 and labor is going to cost you over $100 anywhere.

About the same $ here. I buy and stock up on oil and filters when they are on sale and change it myself per MikeR's thread: Oil change made easy

Not on sale,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, when it is on sale, it is either $29.99 or $39.99 for 5 qts and a filter so you buy two 5 qts and two filters ,,sell one filter on here for 8 bucks shipped so your cost comes to
40 + 20 for oil and one filter,labor u said 22, the sold filter -7, so your oil change should cost no more than $75.00,, jim

LMAO.... I shop for my oil and it is hard to find...so sometimes I have to pay a higher price for oil than what I want too... For the most part, I have been able to find 0w-30 or 0w-40 on sale in the $25 range for 1gal containers. Individual qts are in the $6-7 range. So gallons are cheaper. I need to buy filters and I usually order mine from Rob as I don't like what I find on the shelves around here. I have 3 cars that use this oil and filter now, so it isn't cheap for me anymore and I have to do my own whether I want to or not....It only take me a half hour on the 1st car to set up and get the oil drained. It take about another 15-20 minutes to finish. It takes about the same on the MB I just purchased as well. Not really all that much difference at all. I use to do this a little quicker until I put the belly pans back on...They are a PITA but I do think they make a difference at the higher speeds...I know the pitfalls of oil changes done wrong and these cars are just asking for trouble if they aren't done correctly. I would never trust a quick change lube center with my cars. I had a bad experience at 1 many yrs ago and will never go back.

I am so used to calling them gal containers, but they are 5 qt jugs...that does make a big difference in price...European blend to be exact...

When I got mine from Auto Zone they were not on sale and I didn't want to go anywhere else so I paid $37.99 for a 5q jug and 8.99 each for 4 more quarts to get the 8.5 needed. Then 19.99 for the filter.

One of the pleasures of old age is picking and choosing the car work I want to do, rather than having to do it to save money. Last fall it cost $88 to have oil and filter changed by my reputable indie shop. I expect roughly the same next month before I store them for the winter. My enjoyment is washing and waxing them, while enjoying a G&T and a good cigar.
