Been doing it myself on my driveway. I'd be depressed if I didn't have a flat driveway to work on, it would make things much harder. I just use Chevron 5w30 and OEM filter works fine for me.

If you aren't going to do it yourself, have the dealer do it. I hate Jiffy lube with a passion. They also use Penzoil/Fram filters, which are the worst filter on the market.

thanks alot for input guys, really helps. Maybe ill jus try changing oil myself nex time. Do you just buy another oil filter from an auto store, clean ur stock filter, or is the oil filter changed in longer intervals?

color doesnt mean any thing. i have my oil tested every other or so oil change to see how it and the engine are doing and there is always alot of life left to the oil when i get teh results back.

Dealership for me too. I don't need an appointment, and i'm usually in and out in a half-hour. I don't know if everyone gets this level of service, but I've given the service department plenty of sales through Comptech installs, new customers, etc.

Mobil 1 in the driveway. I had our SUV changed at one of those quickie oil places before and they ripped the splash guard off - literally ripped the plastic off from two bolt holes. Plus for the price of dino oil at the cheap place, you can do it yourself with synthetics.

I work in a shop, pay my mechanic $10 about every other time to do it...plus oil and filter of course. Would go to the dealer if I didn't have my situation.
