50 XXX mile check in - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just hit the 50 XXX mile mile stone. The manual is suggesting the following:

First Engine Oil Change After
Every 80 000 km/50,000 Mi
. Engine air cleaner filter
replacement. See Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter on page 10‑16.
. Automatic transmission fluid
change (severe service)
for vehicles mainly driven
in heavy city traffic in hot
weather, in hilly or mountainous
terrain, when frequently towing
a trailer, or used for taxi,
police, or delivery service.
See Automatic Transmission
Fluid on page 10‑14.
. Rear axle fluid change (severe
service) for vehicles mainly
driven in hilly or mountainous
terrain, when frequently towing
a trailer, used for high speed or
competitive driving, or used for
taxi, police, or delivery service.
See your dealer.
Evaporative control system
inspection. Check all fuel and
vapor lines and hoses for proper
hook‐up, routing, and condition.
Check that the purge valve,
if the vehicle has one, works
properly. Replace as needed.

What kind of prices did you guys pay for these services? I am going to go book an appointment tomorrow and just wanted to scope out some prices in order to avoid getting over charged!

I know the dealers in my area are notorious for pricing things a bit over what they are worth...for example a oil filter for 15$ when the parts store 2 blocks away has the same one for $6. I just wanted to get a good idea of what to expect.
