I’d bet that the book labor charge to replace the pinion seal includes time to drain and refill the differential housing (for which you were charged one-hour labor in addition to the 1.5-hour labor for the pinion seal).

I have always felt that the generic shop supplies charge is nothing more than theft.

It generally goes into a fund for things like air compressor maintenance, floor dry, air hoses, safety glasses, lift maintenance, garage door maintenance, ...

Cost of oil seems crazy, shop rate isn't too bad for 2.5 hours labor.

I agree with @Timo2824 That is not bad price for the labor,
I buy all materials and parts needed when i take my truck to the shop it is all in the back.
Most shops add 30% to all parts cost if they have to get them.

Your tax rate is way too low...

Appreciate the feedback guys. I guess it's just me. I'd be embarrassed to charge an hour to drain and refill. $10? Fine, hand over the unused oil then. I'll take some of the blame as I didn't look at the invoice for a couple days. Time for this old fart to invest in a creeper and get off the concrete floor I suppose.

I agree with 99WhiteC5Coupe, the "Misc Shop Supplies" charge is generally BS. The dealership I deal with adds 10% of the labor charge, regardless of what service was performed. And nobody can ever explain specifically what supplies were used. Rubs my rhubarb the wrong way!
