About $6 a quart of Mobil 1 times 10 quarts (need 9.25 qts) and then $15 for the filter cartridge and like 20 cents for the drain plug washer, so about $80 with tax. DIY. I let my oil drain for a few hours last time I changed my oil because I had to go somewhere and I was surprised at how much came out after I thought it was completely drained. Probably another 1/5 of a quart. And my car was level on four of the same ramps at the time. That was just from slowly dripping over a few hours.

*But I would not advise letting it go that long. The engine cools off too much and then it's a PITA to get the filter case back on tight even after lubing the rubber gasket. After it was warm again I was able to get two more full revolutions on the filter to get it to the 19 ft Lbs torque recommended.
