I'm considering doing it myself because oil change places tend to be a real hassle
Most oil change places only care about getting the job done as quick as possible, so they don't leave your car draining oil for too long.

I'd suggest doing it yourself, and leaving the care about an hour to drain the old oil, so you get as much of it out before putting in the new one.

I've only ever changed the oil in my riding lawn tractor before...but I wouldn't imagine it's much different? Drain the oil, remove and replace the filter, add oil until it's full to the mark on the dipstick...did I miss anything?
