Obscene profit, mostly. I change my own oil and spend right around $40 for 4 quarts of Mobil 1 and a filter from the dealer. I'm sure both conventional and synthetic oils are less expensive in bulk, so $50 is only a little pricey but $100 is outrageous.Why does it cost so much for a Synthetic Oil Change?
