a couple of weeks ago our plane had the oil changed and the plugs re-gapped and cleaned. cost was just over 500$ just for that. the oil gets changed every 50 hours of flying.

You know, there is some owner maintenace that you can do yourself, such as oil changes. Not sure if you can legaly clean and regap the plugs, but I know you can do the oil changes, I used to change mine mysef.

Aviation oil is expensive enough, not paying an aircraft mechanic's time to do a simple oil change.
