If you take your own oil (8qt. of Mobil 1 0w40) = $100?

Default My local dealer quoted me $229. Even for a dealer that seems high to me...
$70 for the oil and $5 for the filter and 1/2 hour labor. Where is the other $100 comming from? The car is CPOed...am I safe to do it myself if I save receipts? The dealer of course told me I shouldn't risk it. This is my first car with warranty so I just want to check with the AW pros!

Default Yeah I change it myself on A4, super easy but...
Will the dealer give me a hard time with engine warranty work if they have no records of oil changes. I spent $2k on CPO and don't want any trouble if there are any troubles with engine.

Default DIY. I always do this with my cars under warranty without problem.
I probably do a more thorough job than they do. Dealers suck.
