Cheapest other than that is Walmart. If you trust your car with someone making $5.25 an hour.

QFT. Co-worker had the oil changed at the Lexus Dealership...they failed to secure the filter - oil spilled out all over his driveway. Had to have the car towed back. Another co-worker had her Camry's oil changed at Sears...they stripped the threads off the oil fiter mount - leaked all over the parking lot. It's really easy to do:

roflmao love them stories 😀
 
Man, for what it costs me for an oil change it'd probably be $50 if I took it somewhere.

$4/quart Mobil1 + $7 OEM filter.
 
I would love to have a lift in my garage so I could do oil changes. I used to change the oill in my Mustang but with the daily drivers...

Why do you need a lift? Floor jack + jackstands works fine.

Or for some cars you can just an oil extractor pump (about $50) and just reach under the hood to get the filter.
