How much should an oil change cost?

I see the dealer charged $50 and change for my last oil/filter change on my 2010 Rav4. (4 cyl). What should I expect to pay at one of those quick lub places? Is there any advantage to taking it to the dealer? They say the check all sorts of things, but I suspect they don't really if there are no complaints.How much should an oil change cost?
While your dealer is keeping your Rav4 in tip top shape, they're also putting in full synthetic oil on a new vehicle along with OE filter as well. If you go to a lube shop you're going to get a worthless fram (or lesser quality) filter along with Bulk conventional oil. The dealer is charging you a fair price for synthetic oil/oil filter and the job. If you buy full synthetic oil on sale you can get it for $20/gallon and a premium synthetic oil filter (mobil 1) is around $13.

And if its still under their warranty, its not a bad idea to go to them, because just about every problem they find is going to be under their warranty.How much should an oil change cost?
Jim, real men change their own oil so we would have no idea how to answer your question. Just sayin'.
