It's hard to beat the dealer price for a Dexos oil change, although I doubt your dealer will do a six quart oil change for 40 bucks; it's probably a few bucks more for that extra quart. And I don't think they use full-synthetic Valvoline. It's still a good deal, especially if they throw in a tire rotation.
But for my Duramax, it gets pretty expensive to have the dealer change the oil, given it takes two and a half gallons of oil. And they don't use full or semi-synthetic oil, either. So I do it myself; 2.5 gallons of full-synthetic Rotella T6 runs about 45 bucks. (I use cheaper semi-synthetic oil in the summer.) Much cheaper than the dealer, and better oil.
I once asked the dealership for a price to change the fuel filter on my truck while it was in for warranty work. 135 bucks, no thanks. I buy Delco fuel filters online for thirty bucks and save a C-note by changing it myself. Usually I need to take a shower afterwards and wash my clothes a couple of times! I kind of understand why the dealer techs aren't eager to do it.
As for our Acadia and Enclave, I do the oil changes myself. No, I don't save much money, but I know I'm using good oil and I don't have to sit around the dealership waiting for them to do it.

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
