I have a bad back making it difficult to get under the car. I take mine to an independent oil change business (small town). They use Mobil1 and I bring them a K&N filter. I watch them do it. They are VERY careful as they are "car people" and it's a family run business. I get it done for just under $60.

I usually do my own but the last time I was in a hurry and took it to the chevy dealer and had them do it. I supplied the oil and filter and they charged me $15! Only bad part was it took them about an hour! I watched the whole thing

I change mine. A book that I have says not to take it to quick change shops because of the slower draining time because of the "wings" on the oil pan. It is very easy to change.
