how much does the dealership charge for an oil change? i'm sure any brand they use will be good for your car.

Oh my lord... why pay the dealer that! All they do is unscrew the old filter, drain the oil, put a new filter on and put fresh oil in it.

I use Mahle or Mann filters. I find that the filter is more important than the brand. I use Supertech synthetic and Mobil 1 when i feel like paying a premium.
