What did the dealer charge you (if it was the dealer)?

That's not bad, Crowley. I added up my expenses for the materials and it was ~$58. I have an oil change shop that only charges me $15 labor if I bring the filter & oil. That is $73 total, so a little over $100 at the dealer is competitive I'd say.

I agree. I like doing my own changes when I can, but a full synthetic oil change for the GTO runs about $85. Another $15 for the dealer isn't so bad, especially considering the more expensive filter, and probably a little more than the 6 quarts my current car uses. :w00t: |

If you guy's want an alternative to BMW's oil filter cartridge, WIX sells one for about $12.50 the part number is 57327. Also I believe they have a fuel filter part number NS but I'm not 100% sure on that one.
