Default If you're willing to change O2 sensors...
Just do it yourself.

Default It is really quite easy.
I did my first oil change a few months back. I bought a pair of Rhino ramps. With practice it should take no more than 20-30 minutes.

Default Oil change? No problem. just be methodical and it's a snap. Just don't lose the backing nuts
for the belly pan. Doing it yourself is the only chance you'll get to look for telltale metal shavings.
