Now, I realize that these motors take more oil than your average Asian or domestic, but I'm a little befuddled as to why a dealership would charge $200 for a simple oil change. -I'm thinking oil, oil filter, air filter (if it needs it), but not sure what else...

Can someone clue this noobie in on all of what an oil change entails?

Like a lot of others here, I'm lurking around doing reasearch to see if this is something I can really swing, financially. -Most everything sounds just great. (Best bang for your buck...) But, a $200 oil change sounds a bit extreme.

Thanks in advance,
