That sounds about right. Remember, the GL uses 9 US quarts of oil.

I paid $302 for Service A, however at the 5K milege increments between Service A and Service B my dealership changes the oil for free - so I think it is about the same and all comes out in the wash...

$210 sounds more or less average.
