I change the oil and filter myself. It's easy and I know it was done right (correct filter, oil and level). Buy the oil at Walmart and order filters from: rockauto.com. You might also want to change your cabin air filter, I was shocked at how dirty mine was.

I agree with marauderroy, change the oil yourself and save. I haven't been buying my oil at Wal-Mart but I need to start, it's a dollar a quart lower then I have been paying but I buy my oil filter from the dealer for $9.00 each. You can either use ramps and drop the splash shield and drain using the drain plug or simply draw the oil from the dip stick tube with a vacuum pump or a TopSider both of which cost under $50 from a marine supply like Overtons. I have done both methods and compared the amount of oil reclaimed and there was no difference. With the oil filter on top certainly makes oil changes clean and painless. My oil changes have been running $47 but will be $39 when I buy my oil at Wal-Mart.
