You should do it yourself. It's not that hard. Just take off the oil cap on top. Buy a oil pan. Stick it under the car. Jack up the car. Take off the oil drain bolt. Let it drain 10-15 minutes. Take off the old oil filter. Get a new one and put a film of new oil on the new oil filter seal and install it. Put the oil drain bolt back in. Fill it up and check the level and fill as necessary.
