Default How much do you pay for dealer Oil Change?

I also posted on LS forum. Sorry for duplicate post but I'm looking for opinions from LS and SC owners.

Over the last 4 months I've bought an LS, SC and CT. So far all oil changes have been done at dealer for free. In fact the dealer just presented me with 6 free oil changes over the next 3 years for my LS.

The CT gets free 5k service and free 10k service.

The new to me SC will go to Lexus dealer in next 2 weeks for oil change and "pre-warranty expiration inspection" This will cost me but I think it will be money well spent.

The dealer I use for service, not selling dealer, has been very cooperative. The selling dealer I bought 2 of the cars from I rate D+ for service.

How much do you pay for an oil change at a Lexus dealer on;
LS460
SC430

For my SC and LS it's typically $45.

My step-dad got an oil change on our GX470 and it was like $70 though. I think the price was for synthetic oil instead of regular oil like the other two cars.

In the Denver area there are several Toyota/Lexus/Scion private garages that use only OEM parts and give excellent service. Oil changes are normally 20-30$. I love them.

I've been using the cheapest oil I can find in my SC400 for 320K miles. A recent check with a fiber-optic bore-scope shows the cylinder liners still have the original honing cross hatches and compression was within 2 psi of each other on all 8 cylinders and was exactly the maximum specified by the FSM.

Given, that, I'll continue to use the cheapest oil I can find on my SC430. I always use the factory filter though. Between that and wal-mart Supertech oil, my change costs me about $12.

The Lexus dealer is over 25 miles from me so I don't use them for oil changes. For which they charge $65 which includes oil, filter, check all fluids, and a car wash.

For $50 at a great shop 4 miles from me I get the oil changed, new filter, and he checks all fluids, checks belts and hoses, tests all exterior lights, sets the tire pressure, and rotates the tires. (The Lexus dealer has a special right now: $28 to rotate the tires.)
