Default Is this true?

I just heard that an oil change for the S4 costs $300 at the dealer (after the warranty runs out , that is)!!!! Is this true? It seems like an outrageous figure. I thought the only thing you needed for an oil change were a filter and some oil. What else is there? Am I missing something?

That doesn't sound right (I was charged $70 at dealer once)

It's $60 while the car is under warranty... I don't know if that changes after the warranty though.

When I called a few weeks ago, it was about $50, but ended up doing it myself

that would be the cost for a major tune up, not just an oil change

Default Well.. ~$32 for filter. $1 or more per quart. Labor to remove the skid plate @ $65/hr.

So knowing the dealers.. $110-120 aint bad.

Default That is definately not true! The most I've paid for an oil change was $65/hour

Since I am still covered under warranty, I bring my s4 into a audi dealership because the labor is free. I do bring my own oil just because I prefer using mobil 1 5w-40 synthetic oil. The only time that I had to pay $65 for an oil change was when I brought in my car to Stuttgart imports in colorado to have a UUC shifter installed along with an oil change. The tech charged me $65/hour but that is the price he charges for any type of labor.
