$126 for the oil and a $126 labor.

Thanks for the links guys
Jeez, 126 for labor.

Here is what I paid last weekend for an oil change.

$109 for 10qts redline oil online, shipping includded.
$12 oil filter

Used 2 jack stands under the rear end with a floor jack to get on the stands.

Jack up car ~7 min
Drain Oil while replacing oil filter ~7 min
Examine filter for debris (None) ~7min
refill with new oil while taking rear off stands ~10min
Put stuff away/clean up ~5min

Totals $121 & 36 minutes at a leisurely pace.

I would run away from that mechanic, he is taking extra money out of your pocket for no good reason.
