Just FYI, it's free to dispose of used oil yourself at pretty much any Autozone, PepBoys, Kragen, etc...

Considering the horror stories from those quick change places, does $50 sound that bad?

I do my own for about that ballpark - AMSOIL full syn and filter. Of course, it helps to be a dealer!

do share how much you think:
- bring car in, put on lift, raise it
- remove filter spilling oil everywhere
- replace new filter
- drain old oil
- lower car, fill in new oil
- wash/vaccum
- drive car back out

- cost of filter
- cost of 5 qrts of oil
- dispose of filter, dispose of oil

nevermind paying the receptionist who greeted you and checked you out
service rep
mechanic

do it yourself and save what? $20?

When I first had my oil changed the dealer used synthetic and it was $50. Regular oil was around $30. Now I strictly use Amsoil.

My previous car was a Corvette, which would run around $75 for Mobil 1 oil change. $50 at Infiniti for partial synthetic and a wash and actual customer service is not a bad deal.
