Have I been robbed.

I would say no, you have not been robbed.......although maybe you should have taken some snacks for the ride home?

2001 S8

Just for reference, my D2 has two pollen filters and takes 8 qt of oil. My Audi dealer quoted $120 for filters and $125 for an oil change. I'd say you did not get robbed for what you got based on Audi pricing.

Good luck.

If you are willing to do some of your own service you will save about 70% over the dealer. But it of course requires more work. I personally like K&N and have never had issues but I know some do. Most of the time the issues come from users over-oiling the filter and it can foul the MAF if the car has one. I use it for my engine air filter and just clean / re-oil myself. Anyway, if you are out of warranty or just want to save money I would do some the basic stuff yourself. I'm under a CPO and do my own oil and filters, battery, brakes, etc. Helps you learn the car and promotes better preventive maintenance habits imo. Besides your time it only cost about $60 to change your own oil.

Prices I am finding -
10 quarts of mobile 1 EP formula is $45
Oil filter about $14
Cabin filters are about $15
Engine air filters are around $25 - 70 depending on type.

You must be in cheap part of the country. Invoice for first S8 service in Surrey was £680 however that included spark plugs change requested by leasing company. Still, even without it, it was expensive but it was included in service package I bought with the car. I did mine at 17000miles. When asked about the cost of 3.0TDI service, I was told £499 for first one and £499 for second one. London prices ;-) Liverpool told me it's £250 for oil service. Again, bought 3 years service plan for £350 so I don't have to look for cheapest service.

Its very cheap here up north, but then again deals can be done all over the county, I picked this up from down your way did a great deal at Patek New Bond Street last year, but it took 3 years to arrive I ordered it in 2014.
