    The answer to your question is yes, but I intend on changing my oil myself.

    Absolutely. Something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. It's the cornerstone of capitalism.

    Local Moto Guzzi dealer; 2019 V7 III Stone fluid change (I provided the fluids); no body work to remove; 3-week appointment list; $330 labor just for labor.

    I sold it.

    1330cc Spyder fluid changes are fairly easy, just a bit time-consuming for body work remove/install. Get Lamonster's Magic Mirrors!

    Oil and filter is about 75, an hour labor is over 100. My diesel truck was about 300. It costs to play. Learn how to do it, and save labor. The parts don’t get cheaper!

    That's a bit steep for an oil change. My RT oil change cost less than $70 all total.

    That’s actually a good price. Some charge upwards of $350. The few oil changes at dealer were around 160

    Guy I know recently bought an F3 Limited. He took it to the dealer for an oil change and it was over $300.
