Reasonable upcharge for Mobil 1 / synthetic oil?

Before I post what mine was on my 7500 mile service I want to know what people would consider a reasonable dealer upcharge. I've always run synthetic in my cars and started with this service. Dont mind spending the money at all for my baby just wondering what people here and in Canada pay.

Never used a dealer to do my synthetic work ... but I can take a guess....

since labor is the same, the cost difference should just be the cost of the oil itself. Even if they buy synthetic at retail prices (which they won't for sure), it shouldn't exceed $4 a qt.
So no more than $25 (we need 5 1/4 - so make it 6 qts). Again considering this is retail, the actual "cost" should be much less than that !

So what did you pay ?

EDIT: Just to clarify - I am only talking about the "extra" (upcharge) cost for using Synth.
Not total cost

Oil change with synthentic........$

Here in Ca. I believe an oil change with synthentic runs slightly less than $50.
I enjoy doing it myself (sorta) and by the time I buy my oil (Red Line) and
get my filters (K&N) shipped to me it costs me $60......but well worth the
cost because I know I'm giving my ride the best available.

I run synthetic in all my cars, I will switch to synthetic in my G35 at approx 7500 miles. I've always had Infiniti Service work on my car and I've always brought my own Mobil1.

With my Q45, at one oil change I had forgot to pick some up and had them supply the Mobil1 synthetic. The total cost was $76 parts and labor, per quart was $9.36
