6 x $10 for oil + $20 filter. If they charged less than $100, they are either stupid, desperate or it was the garage owner's mate.

An HP6 filter is worth $35, 12 litres of Royal Purple is around $120, so $155 plus my time which would be 30 mins tops.

Depends which car - but I give our Mitsi an oil/filter once a year and I've got it down to 15mins (13mins once!)

Yep I call bull too - although I worked in a toyota dealership on the gold coast, we used to service some landcruisers that had a $1200ish service at 20k, 40k, 60k etc. mainly due to regreasing all the hubs etc. seemed over the top IMO but with these being mines type vehicles they always wanted it done

Where do hear that rubbish from triton first service ie 15000km service is a basic service like anything else $200-$250 and having it done elsewhere doesnt void the warranty at all
well im a mechanic and she wanted to know how much a certain "ford " dealership here in chch charged to do a oil change on her car , I can do it for free + price of oil and filter so about $ 40-50 Valoline oil and filter. And yes I do consider anything over $120 for a oil change expensive.

That's what my boss charges me. I'm sure he pays more than that per litre, but for every 200 litre drum of oil he buys from Ripco, he gets extra 20 litres for "free".
