So what do you spend on an oil change?

78 bucks at the quick lube for the 250. Change every 6k miles

total is 18qrts--had to double check that but only 13 to 15 qrts on the change--that I was sure of :)

I have changed the oil in a 7.3 numerous times and never has it taken less than 16 quarts, maybe the 6.0 is different tho
