I used the Amazon price as a reference, which seemed to be at or below the common price everywhere else that I had checked. I haven't found any VW spec oil in any of the general merch stores in my area, but I hadn't looked at Wall-Flower. Thanks for the info; I'll check our local Wally.
Seriously, I'm not paying anywhere near $52 for oil. My son works at an autoparts store so was able to find a decent sale price for Castrol VW 505 00/502 00, so I bought 4 cases of 6qt each for somewhere in the ballpark of $30-$35/case. I'm set to 50K miles...
You are right, filters seem to be inexpensive, though I don't rightly recall what I paid, it was well under $10.
Odd that her 2003 VW runs the 0W-40, where mine is spec'd for 5W-40.
At 19K miles, I've done one change and will do the next in the next few days.
The point of my post was to state what Ford will probably charge, given the normal (expensive) going rate for fluids for VW products. Many people will not, or cannot do their own oil changes so will pay the going rate.
