Oil change for a 2000 A6 2.7T - $145?!!!
 

My shop quoted me $145 for an oil change!!
Is this a normal price?
This is my first Audi and I have had couple Honda's prior, and I used to do oil changes my self for like $12
Even if I bring it to the dealer, it would only cost $35

Why is it so expensive? are the oil tanks and filters very hard to reach??
Any tutorial on the web? thanks!

my knowledge of automobiles is sad, my dad works at a car plant but since i hardly ever see the asshole, maybe once every two or three years, he never taught me anything. 50 bucks every 8 thousand miles is a steal by my book
