HEY! Yes the oil change service @ the local dealer is VERY expensive. I recommend that you DO NOT go there except for the free one. haha. I happen to be a Manager @ a Automotive Shop in Santa Cruz, CA and i know for a fact that $100 for an oil change is OUTRAGEOUS! What you should do, is go to a WHEEL WORKS or another shop like it and ask them to do a factory oil change. When a customer comes in and tells me that, it means that you want an oil change just the same way a dealer would do it, same oil and equivalent filter. And it will end up costing you around $65. I do oil changes on BMW's each day and i am competing with dealer prices of over $150 !!!!! Just make sure they use the same oil the dealer recommends for your car, DONT let them use a generic oil. Oh yea...about the cabin air filter, thats always a good idea and its really easy to replace on your own, it even tells you how in your owners manual. it takes no more than 15 minutes. Tire rotations should be done every oil change! dont lay off of that one ok?? Anyways, i hope i was able to help you out a little! Good luck scwestsider4
