Default SRT8: how much for an oil change?

I'd like to take an informal poll... How much have you guys paid for an oil change for your SRT8's? I have a Magnum.

I just paid more than I ever thought I would EVER be charged... $67 and change. The dealer used the recommended (required?) synthetic Mobile oil 0W-40. And also added insult to injury by charging me for 8 quarts (not 7 quarts as I read in the manual when I got home). I'm just kind of ticked at all the "special" costs I seem to be running into, and just wanted to find out what you guys are paying.

If synthetic is the only/preferred option then I guess I'm changing my own oil from now on, because that is blankety-blank ridiculous.

Woody.

Its 8 quarts because 7 for the motor and 1 for the filter thats how they get the 8 ...usually
but with a motor that runs like that I'd keep the syn oil too!

But be happy your driving a SRT8!

Yeah I know. I'm just curious if everyone else is paying a premium for oil changes... Sounds like you are.

What do you pay in your area?

I haven't had my first change yet, but at the time of purchase I bought a service contract for three years of regular maintenance. I think I paid $500 (maybe $600), and this includes all parts and labor as well as a rental car.
