Believe it or not our local dealer wants $249 for a oil and filter change.  Even factoring in $100 of materials (which is being very generous, especially since the dealer is not paying typical consumer retail prices), that's still an additional $149 of labour.  
As stated above, a local shop wants $180, which still seems rather high, though is obviously more reasonable than the dealer.
