It should not take any longer than any other car that needs filter changed from the bottom. Drive on the ramp, drop the noise insulation pan, undo plug and drain the oil, while it drains remove old filter and fit new. refit plug, fill with oil slightly over min level, start the engine, check for leaks. Stop the engine and let the oil settle while re-fitting noise insulation pan. Check the oil level and top up if necessary. Done. 30 min is good estimate.
I think my mate got oil changed for his 3.7 for £60 including 10w40 semi-synthetic oil and filter in the price at the local garage. Oil 7.5l @ about £2.5/l, filter about £10, 0.5hrs labour @ £40/hr + VAT on top. Smaller engines that require less oil and cheaper filters cost £40-50 all in.
