I just paid less than $6.00 a quart and did it myself. I'm guessing that is the price to have someone else do it for you.

btw, did you call your local parts store? I wonder if its just from buying it from mobil, a lot of the time prices are higher if bought from the source.

MObil 1 is synthetic, that means man made. Just ponder that a bit maybe you will figure it out..

That's because you priced forced-induction motor oil and not the regular stuff.
