curious what to expect to pay?

I had dealer quotes ranging from $190 to $260, so I bought a filter off eBay and had a local shop change it for me for $85, which is less than the dealer wanted for just the oil. Hopefully the price will come down as aftermarket filters and additional approved oils become available. They used Kendall GT-1 Euro, which meets the ACEA C3 and Chrysler MS_11106 requirements.

$88.04 for 2 cases of factory fill with free shipping and $39.95 for the oem mopar filter shipped. $127.99 total and I'll have the piece of mind knowing some kid isn't forgetting to tighten my drain plug.

No one locally sells any brand of oil that meets Chrysler's specifications. The one exception is the local Dodge Dealer who sells the Pennzoil for $11.13 per quart and only sells quarts. I would really like to find gallon containers - any suggestions?

I had my first change last month (first one was free) and I believe the service rep said it cost 260 or 270 (canadian) for them to do it.

Fortunately, mine came with 4 freebies but the servicing dealer in Kodak, tn said it would have been $161. Looks like it varies greatly by area but it ain't cheap anywhere. If you're a diy'er, anomaly's or Katoom's finds are probably as good as it gets right now.

I just bought factory fill pennzoil ultra euro L off Amazon for 88.04 including shipping for (2) 6 packs of quarts. The better news is there are rebates on the bottles for 10.00 when you buy 5 or more quarts. So that's 20.00 in rebates! !

Wow, That's a deal. I would stock up. No such luck in Canada though.

Quote myself here - I've been hunting for this oil in Ontario and I found an oil dealer that can sell it. It comes in something called an EcoBox, that's 22.7 litres for $212 so that's $9.30 per litre. Best I've found so far. On top of that there is no echofee because it's a cardboard box and a plastic bag with a spigot similar to the way wine comes in a box. Since the valve keeps the bag air tight, you can keep the oil on the shelf as long as you want.

In Ontario we're charged $.16 per liter to pay for the disposal of the plastic jug, that's the ecofee.

Oil and filter and tire rotation at the dealer plus 4 gallons of DEF was $265 CDN. I'll let the dealer do the first couple of oil changes in case I run into any of the early problems so they can't tell me I used the wrong def or oil or whatever. I've got a line on some penzoil in 10 litre boxes that's a little cheaper and I expect the oil filter to be available in the aftermarket eventually. Then I'll start doing my own oil changes.

Interesting think with my DEF gauge. I was just under 1/4 on my first tank of DEF by the time I needed an oil change. It has been < -20 C for a number of weeks here in southern Ontario. I put in 4 gallons of DEF from the dealer and the gauge never moved. Temperature came up to +2C a couple of days later then the gauge moved up to just under 3/4 as I expected. I guess the sensor was frozen. I'm glad I didn't have an issue with the performance of the truck due to lack of DEF.

I've been keeping my def filled myself. My generic oil change only costed me $135.00.

That was at my local dealership in McKinney, TX

I paid $200 plus tax at local dealer. I was already there having the recall rear suspension work being done. I was at 7,000 miles. Needless to say, the next oil change will be done in my driveway. I am really curious about the different brands and their reliability. I came from a 6.4 Powerstroke with DPF delete completed. I was using Rotella T in that truck.

I had and oil change done at the dealer and they used a straight 5W-30. Did Ram update what oil you can use or do I need to be concerned and contact the dealer.

So I haven't received the coupons yet but my dealer sold me 10 changes and 10 rotations for $449 USD. This is an add on option to the Chrysler Maximum Care warranty.

I still need to check the fine print but I think that this is just a way to get me into the dealership to form that post warranty "relationship"

I'll let you know once I get the documentation if it's for real or a scam.
