So ~$40, plus whatever you value 15-30 minutes of your time at.

He lives in Canada, and I believe there are laws against dumping the old oil. So add $50 for a spill tank for the first oil change, and $10 to empty it at a hazardous waste facility, plus the trip.

I gladly pay the dealer to change it for me, even if I could do it for less. There are so many ways we don't do things ourselves which we could, but are willing to pay for the convenience of others doing it. Oil changes is one of them for me.
