How much should I pay for an oil filter?
Typically, an oil and filter change using conventional oil will cost between $35 and $75, depending on your area. If your car requires synthetic oil, you should expect to pay more (anywhere from $65 to $125) but you make up some of the cost, since synthetic oil lasts longer and has to be changed less frequently.
Some people are handy and have the time and tools to replace their own oil and filter. (If that’s not you – no problem!) Five quarts of conventional oil and a new filter will set you back around $30 depending on where you live. For synthetic motor oil and a new filter, it’ll cost around $45 plus tax. Consult your local auto parts store for actual prices.
Regular maintenance won’t just keep your car running well, it’ll help protect your car’s value over time. For more ways to do this, see How to Maintain the Value of Your Car

San Francisco so everything cost more here

yes, I could do it myself, except I have no tools, no place to store tools, street park, and am not even sure who takes used oil anymore (AutoZone?)

i think this is about $40 more than I normally pay

the labor seems fine to me, the oil cost was the shock for me.
Labor: $57.00
Parts: 6 quarts synthetic oil, 1x oil filter $79.
I have no idea if this is normal or not, as the last oil change I got was a year ago and I can't find the recite.
