No question here, just an observation. I've been changing the oil myself in my Volvo, primarily to ensure that a Mann filter is put on and not some generic brand. I also use Mobil 1.

Cost (US$) =
$20 for Mobil 1 (5 quart jug from Walmart)
$4 for a Mann filter
$0.50 for a new copper ring

Plus tax, it's around $27 or so.

I stopped by a Brahler quick lube place since they had on their marquee that they now carry Mobil 1 to see what they charge. A basic oil change is $25, plus a $30 surcharge for using Mobil 1, so $55 plus tax, and that's with a generic filter. I'll keep changing it myself...
