I've always changed my own oil. I buy Mobil 1 at Walmart really cheap. Oil disposal at Advance Auto for free. I've never had an oil related problem in the 35 years I've been doing it. At the same time, I rotate tires, check brakes, front end components, etc. Different friends and family members have had problems with dealers and garages when changing oil, including stripped oil plugs and leaking filters and recommending work that isn't needed. Believe me, they don't put the brightest bulbs on the job of changing oil, and they will try to get every dime from you they can! It's not hard, even my 79 year old father changes his own oil.That being said, if you're not comfortable doing the job, have it done.
