Sorry, if this is a noob question. My previous car is more familiar with the 40 dollars oil change haha..
You can do it for less than ~$35 buying an oil on sale (Mobil1, Pennzoil, etc.) at Wal-Mart, Advance, Autozone etc. and buying oil filters from the dealer. Heck, you can just go to the dealer and get the Subaru/Idemitsu oil cheaper than that even if your dealer sells it at MSRP.

Or was it $91 for 12 quarts?
