I have done both but for us it boils down to if we need anything else at the time of the oil change or if we really have the time to do it. Last time we were in a pinch and needed it the same day we were leaving to attend someones wedding.

It's more messy and time consuming than what I want to deal with. I have to make a special trip to the county landfill to dispose of the used oil too. I'm glad to pay someone.

When I got my drivers license my dad showed my sister and I how to change the oil in a car. He figured if we knew how to fix car problems ourselves, we would never have to worry or depend on someone else. I sure am glad he taught me. Nowadays, I usually let my husband do it. I also just don't trust most car places. It's funny how you go in to fix something little and leave with problems you did not have before!
