Default The Audi dealer will do it; Larson (Tacoma) charges $6/qt. for M1 0W40.

Best bet is to buy the oil yourself at Autozone or GE Joes and take it to your favorite dealer.

For non-warranty changes, I buy the oil from GI Joes and the filters from Clair (site sponsor) and do it myself.

Default I take my own Mobil One to Univercity. They don't discount

but I get the OE Filter,a good over once over inspection, and a car wash for the $29.

Default It's only $29 per change at UVA? hrrrm....

I didn't realize it was that cheap... considering the oil filter cost and the inverted position of the 1.8 filter (read oil in the face/down the arm no matter how hard you try to keep clean), I may have to go to them for my (now) out of warranty changes.

Not so crazy about the oft-used, rarely-cleaned brush type auto wash they use, but oh well, you can't have it all. Better than letting the monkeys at jiffy lube touch it.

Default WOW!!! Sunset Imports in Portland charges $89 for a freakin' oil change!

Needless to say, I've never had them do it!

Default IIRC $29 is for Passport Service customers only.

If you didn't buy your car from University they may charge more for the oil change.
