As for the $150 oil change.. that is pretty much par for the course these days with synthetic oil.. 7-9 litres at $9-10L $20 filter and a bit of labour and you are there. The other side of it is that on most European cars you only have to change the oil every 15-20,000km not 5-8000 like on most Jap and NA cars.. Really it all evens out in the end.
So what is it about the German cars that allows them to be so frugal with the oil?
