I have had oil changes done in several states in the 9 yrs we've had our C. One place in Oklahoma charged $60. for 6qts oil and filter while in S. Dakota I paid $148. for the same job. I think it's according to the type of place one uses for the change. Some have their prices posted and that's where I'd try to go like others said but ask if there's an additional charge for your MH. I change mine every 3K miles if I can find a place to do it myself. Doing it myself only costs about $50.
You might want to look into having your oil analyzed. You may well be overdoing it at 3000 miles and pouring money down the sump.
I grew up with OLD cars that practically demanded oil changes every 3K and long before the day of "oil analysis" which I've researched with friends on Corvette Forum and many of them find it to be useless with which I concur. I fully realize there are those who promote their oils to be so superior one need not change till 5K or higher but it does no harm to change the oil before some scientists' presumed deadline. :B
