OK, called my dealership to schedule first oil change @ 600
Unlike you guys I don't have the time or desire to change my oil myself, I was quoted 165 with Audi supplying the oil....this would be the most expensive oil change in my entire life of owning cars!
Is this the number? if so..so be it. But was looking for others feedback...thanks.

Sounds about right. Engine takes 10L of oil.
Here was what my last change cost me when I brought my own oil.
Oil Filter 079-198-405-B ... = $23.04
Crush washer N-013-815-7 = $1.33
Labor ........................... = $29.95
Hazardous Waste ............ = $5.00
Service History .............. = $0.98
---------------------------------
Total .................. = $60.03
10L - Motul 8100 E-tech 0-40 = $103.96
---------------------------------------
Total cost ............. = $163.99

This post just reminded me that EuroCode Tuning sells Motul for less...

Holy ****, that has to be a mistake ($91)...
Shipping is probably based on some formula that isn't working for the Motul. Clair Parts used to have the same issue.

Ahh, I guess they didn't want to take the course that allows them to ship for a lot cheaper...
My friend who is in the paint business and ships all the time told me the course is a joke. You take it online and it give you two chances to get the answer right. Not only that, but the questions are extremely easy and stupid.

Well you could take it to jiffy lube........
You have an $80k vehicle..are you seriously having an issue with a $165 dollar oil change? Try finding a local indy shop in your area, they might be able to do it a tad cheaper than the dealership..
But remember, you get what you pay for.
