For those of you who dont change your own oil, where do you get it changed?

He's had problems with having the belly pan falling off after leaving the shop.
Also, at least at Jiffy Lube, I don't think they even stock the correct M1 oil for our cars. So you'd have to bring in your own oil but they still charge you for oil regardless.

Probably dealer-installed filter. Those are always cranked down tight.
When I do my own changes, the filter always comes off fairly easily because I don't tighten it with an impact gun and 8 foot lever arm.

I pay Jiffy Lube or SpeeDee $20 to do it (bring my own oil/filter)....
Why? $20 is chump change; I live in a condo with no garage and so the last thing I want to do is an oil change in my tiny parking spot; I don't want to deal with the oil disposal; I don't feel like getting myself dirty for a "mod" that gives me no power; it's done in 25 minutes.
Sure, you'll get teenage clowns working at these shops but if you talk to them and watch them they'll do an OK job. Like everyone says, it's a simple job so even these guys can't screw it up if you're on top of them. I go back to the same place and tip a bit so they do it right.

Depending on where you are located, maybe someone on AW could do it for you...
They could show you how to do it yourself for future reference, plus they probably will care more about your car than some random oil changing place.
