I just paid 9.99/qt for Valvoline 5w-40 full synthetic meeting VW spec 502.00 at Advance auto (least expensive oil meeting 502 I could find.) A Mann Filter is $14. So to do the oil myself (5 qts and filter) is $64. The dealer that does a full synthetic oil change with high quality filter at $69 sounds like a good deal.
If Honda is using a high quality filter and VW502.00 spec full synthetic oil for $50, then that is a great deal. I suspect the oil is probably a non-VW spec oil though.
My local guy will change oil and filter on my Mazda pickup, using semi-synth for $39.99. Full synthetic is $59.99. I suspect he would charge a little extra to get VW502 spec oil, I haven't asked him yet, so I think the VW dealer is reasonably priced. You are getting VW spec oil and OEM filter at about the cost for a self oil change, IMHO.
