I am assuming by your post you add the prices together for each letter and number. In southern california I called the dealer for A1 sevice was told $69.95 addition $25 for Mobil 1 oil.

I don't think I will ever pay for services like oil change or air/Cabin air filter change for my RL. It's just ridiculous. I was quoted $500.00 for the 30K miles tune up which includes the oil and filter change, air filter change, cabin air filter change and tire rotation. I did all the job myself and perhaps just spent about a 100 bucks.

That does seem a bit high but not that bad. It all depends on how much time you have to spare (and how much your own time is worth). Time = Money, as they say.

I just called Montgomeryville about the A16 service. They quoted $153 for the oil change, rotate/balance, and differential fluid change, which is what these services add to based on your numbers above (actually $152.85). Davis (my dealer) wanted $161 without the tire balancing (but met Montgomeryville's offer) so it appears that Montgomeryville is certainly in the ballpark.

I had the A1 service at Montgomeryville this morning, including 100% synthetic oil and they didn't charge me anything. Maybe because I bought an extended warranty?

Since I purchased my car at Davis, I get every other oil change free. Perhpas Montgomeryville has a similar deal. I don't use synthetic so I don't know if they would charge me for the oil if I did.

Do not get your air filters changes by the dealer. I made that mistake...it's a rip-off!
