It depends.
For example, Mobil Oil currently has a promotion for 5qt jugs of a variety of engine oil lines. My 5w-30 and 0w-40 are regularly priced at just under $27, but it's on sale for $24 and I got a 15% coupon, so after tax and after the $12 rebate, my effective out-of-pocket is just $10. The highest I usually pay is about $25 for a 5-qt jug. Sometimes I buy Valvoline or Pennzoil synthetics when there is a sale or a rebate.
For filters, I buy in larger amount. I stock a few filters for each of the vehicles I own, so I get to use a 30-40% off coupon code from Advance Auto Parts. The effective cost for each filter is around $5-6 for Mobil1 oil filters. Sometimes I buy WIX from Rock Auto when I have a larger order.
How much do I exactly pay for a DIY oil change? Well, I'm unsure, but should be cheap enough by using that method.
