Am I the only idiot who paid the audi dealer a $145 for and oil change for my 2008 RS4?

Not under warranty????

or no garage for you car???

I always did my own oil changes even when poor and living in cold weather St Louis and living in apartments

I paid something close to that for mine too...it's a lot of oil and, well, it's an RS4.

But I have to say - I am glad you did not use Jiffylub - They would have lost some of the 20 belly pan bolts

I change my own but $145 seems cheap to me. Parts alone run about $110. Changing the oil filter takes longer than most cars. To get at the drain plug, the bellypan need to be removed which has about 20(?) fasteners. Then the service reminder needs to be cleared. Finally, there's the expense of liability if something goes wrong.

Yeah, JHM sells an oil change kit and it runs $82.50 for just the right amount of Lubro-Moly (5w40) + a filter (+ tax and shipping). I would pay the premium also to have it done at the dealer.

I'm not sure if you qualify as an idiot for that. Last December, I was quoted $325 by my dealer for an oil and filter change. Now, had I gone for it, I'd be a *real* idiot... LOL!

It is a little high. I paid like $85 for mine...usually the dealer runs a special.

I've done about 5 at the dealer now... all in the $ 100-120 range. Additionally they perform diagnostics check, look the car over w/ fine tooth comb, and finally test drive & wash it. So it's well worth it.

The dealer here charges $199 for oil change.
