Why?

Dealer bulk rate on 50 gallon drums of Castrol Syntec 5W-30 European spec comes to something a little less than $1.00 per LITER. 6.5 liters comes to about $6 in oil. Filters, even if they pay single price, is $4.50 each.

Where it's going to KILL you is the FRU/Charge rate. At $120 per hour, that means they're only charging you 1 FRU (15 minute intervals) for the job.
