If you think that's bad, $120 is the asking rate at the local Lexus dealer here, using Kendall oil.

For some reason now, both Toyota and Honda call a simple oil change a 5000 mile maintenance or A service: change oil and filter, rotate tires. I have Costco take care of that if I'm too lazy to drive down to the old job - rotating and balancing tires that is. I also should have said the local Honda dealer here is less than Toyota - $40 for a oil change, my neighbor gets free coupons once in a blue moon. The drive-thru shops charge $29 for bulk Pennzoil YB and a Purolator-made Pennzoil filter, with the exception of Jiffy Lube which is almost as bad as the dealer.
