do the right thing. go buy a 29 dollar jack and floor stands from checkers along with 6 quarts of mobil one fully synthetic 5w30. and a fram ultra super duper oil filter and some of those oil eater boxes and do it yourself. not only will you save money in the long run (schuman charges 80$ i think for mobile one oil change) but you will have the self gratification that comes with it. (i love gratifying myself) or you can go buy the oil yourself and take it to jiffy lube. good luck.

do it yourself. if you take it somewhere they tend to do F***ed up thing to your car like tightening the filter too tight or scratching your fenders. your much better off doing it yourself, saves money and doesn't screw up your car.

oem is the general choice for filters.

and make sure to use 4.7 quarts and not the full five

ok. i seen and heard all the stories of doing the oil yourself. i change my own. but it most definitely cost me more to do it myself(my time ain't cheap). but i get the satisfaction knowing that its done right. and plus i feel somewhat good about myself.<--- if thats not your cup o tea, go see mellowwrx
