How much do you pay for...
I was just wondering what the average cost for an oil change. For some who can't do their own oil change for whatever reason...what do you guys pay for the usual full synthetic oil/filter change?
Just wondering! Wanted to see how much difference in cost to do it myself and just have mechanic do it. I checked around to see synthetic oil and they are usually $6+ and filter is around $12. I remember the X5 uses around 9 quarts or so...

Actually at $75.00 per hour it's about right in NorCal for an independent BMW shop . You gotta remember mine is still under warranty so we don't let the dealer know what i do on the side. Dealer prices can be cheaper because oil changes are used as bait for other service
Novax5 says it's about $60.00 for Oil. (Does that include filter? No!) Oil filters about $8.00 ball park and you right at $70.00 Then you add about 1/2 hour labor and your looking at $100.00. I do business with the independent because he has alway taken care of my BMW's. In fact he just did a brake job on our Mercedes priced at the Mercedes dealership for $1300.00 for $650.00.  So he gets a few extra dollars for an oil change. I get it back down the line. Quote:
