Ummm, supply chain issues. Also, more and more cars are making their oil filter proprietary making it hard for after market companies to supply them.

When I worked at an oil shop it wasn’t uncommon for us to have to run to napa or advanced to pick up filters for certain cars. We didn’t see enough of these cars in a year to order a bulk stock and or our supplier didn’t make them.

110.00 seems pretty common for oil changes now a days. I change the oil on all my cars because of this. I can get 5 quarts mobile 1 for 29.00 dollars and an oil filter for 13.99. It takes me 30 mins, why would I pay 100 percent more for someone else to do it.
