I would say anything around 140-200 for oils, filters, and general check of everything else top up of fluids etc is reasonable depending on the quality of the oils.
Anything over 200 is a bit of a rip though. Even going near 200 is on the higher side.

For a normal service on my V8 to match the Waranty requirements it was $200. This included cooling system pressure test, compression test, plug check as well as all the other bits and pieces. As soon as the waranty expired I did my own servicing, which usually came to about $70 and a small mess to clean up =)

Toyota here in Adelaide charge about $15/hr more than the average mechanic's rates. They justify this by saying that no-one knows your toyota like them. This may be well and true for the Oz delivered models, but I would tend to think that there are a lot more people that know imported toyotas better than your local toyota dealer.
