I'm sure you're looking at $90+ for an oil change from the dealer.

nox1s,
Although the manuals recommend oil change less frequently, I've always been told by dad, grand dad and uncles to do it at 3K miles. At a cost of $100 plus am considering doing it less often.

Just made the 600 plus miles ride to atlana at thanksgiving and will be heading back for two weeks at xmas and new year's. Driving 10 hrs straight going there and then again back (two weeks later). Is that not too much hard driving on the engine? Otherwise driving car about 50 miles total during the week (to and from work in stop and go traffic --6 spd manual limited).

Currently living in an apartment; changing oil in parking garage not a good idea or allowed. Might consider being a diy once in own home (during warmer weather ).
