I changed my own oil for a couple years, but it was a huge PITA. After material and disposal costs, I realized it's only a few bucks cheaper to do it yourself.
Also, its only a few bucks cheaper to take it to a quick lube than to take it to the dealer. I have seen some bad bad things come out of oil changes. Plugs that get stripped or put in without washters. Vacum hoses getting cut or knocked loose. Oil all over the engine bay/ no oil cap put back on, so the engine spews oil everywhere. Sometimes the car is drained and oil is never put back in. Sometimes just too little or too much.
At my dealer it costs me 25 bucks to change the oil and I get free snacks and drinks in the lounge. Its a toyota dealer and I take my volvo there too.
