Default Is this cheap for an oil change?

Jap filter, 10/40 oil and labour = £60

Going down from 10/60 Millers as the car isn't used for track etc, plus I read on here a lot of snetters are happy on 10/40.

Just a shame I'm here in France and no one to drive her....

Suppose it depends on the make of oil and filter, a Subaru filter is about £10+ and the make and quality of oil (Full Synth Semi Synth) will make a difference of £25 ish, between a good and 'bad' make etc.

So that could leave a labour cost of £20 or less.

But it's not that hard a job for a mechanic with a ramp etc.

Tis true the guy who has the garage hill climbs a P1 and does all his own work so I trust him! plus it's literally 5 min walk away.
Plus I don't know what I'm doing and I haven't got the space to do it plus my female bits would get in the way lol
