Place1: says $80-$90, European auto repair, website is generic as to what cars they work on. Double checked it was synthetic, was friendly and said they do work on boxters and provided the quote.

Place2: says $147, knew it was synthetic, and looked up parts/prices to come up with quote, friendly as well.

I didn’t call the dealer assuming it was only going to be more. I am hoping to establish a place where I can go to get the car worked on but need some help on if the pricing is in-line as there is a big enough difference. Appreciate any help
Oil & filter.

Synthetic.

You want your old filter, in a baggie or plastic bag.

Not too much to it. Don't overfill.
