I am a first-time car owner headed to the shop for a first oil change! Not sure what sort of prices to expect. How much does an engine oil change cost?

An engine oil change cost can vary anywhere between $25 and $110, depending on the type of oil.
The cost varies depending on whether your car takes normal or synthetic oil. Synthetic oil lasts longer and has additives to further protect your engine.
