$80 seems like a pretty good deal to me. What surprise me is how they make a profit out of it. If the dealership charges me $80 for oil changes all the time I'll probably never change the oil myself, I will take it to them.

Yeah okay, totally agree. For the $20 difference, I might do it myself, but only if I specifically felt like working on my car that weekend
Seems to me it's to get you in the door so they can see if anything else is wrong for them to work on.
