Get some ramps, jack and jacks stands and do it yourself! It make you feel closer to you vette too!

Dont forget the oil pan, wrench, oil and filter too.

If you don't mind let me clear that up on the necessary equipment.
Use the "cup" type oil filter remover. Get the K&N 1007 oil filter it has a nut base on the bottom used to remove and install, besides it is a very good oild filter. Go to the thread that explains and shows the proper way to drain your oil. I don't think the dealers or the oil monkeys do it this way. DO IT YOURSELF...you will fell better.

Stealership = $70-90/change

Me + CostCo ($23 for a case) + $4-6/Oil Filter + $8/Oil Drain Pan (non-reoccurring) + 30 minutes = Done right and me very
