Just had 4-year service done...I'll have to check and see the breakdown on the oil. I do know 6 spark plugs were $120...plus labor [emoji33]
Lol.
I have 16 plugs in my Hemi. Not even going to tell you what the dealer quotes to change them. ;)

I do all my own work. But I do buy only genuine OEM Mopar parts from my dealer.
My 16 plugs are $75 at the dealer.
Yeah, the install can be a b!tch on some cylinders, but not $405 worth of b!tch. Lol
Re: Your thoughts on 15,000 mile oil changes..
My 2007 Lexus ES 350 owner's manual calls for an oil change every 7,500 miles. That seems like too big an interval, and one that I struggle to remember (or at least did struggle before I began using a fuel and repair expense ap).
I have gone 5,000 miles +/- 200 miles for almost all of my 45 years of driving. Is this excessive? Possibly. Have I ever lost even a minute of sleep worried about whether my oil should have been changed? Not even one time. To each his own, but I'll stick to my program, thank you.
But interesting question for sure.

But maybe a bad dream at 15k? ;)
