This whole thread is full of DIY'er win, but that statement rules all.

Well I choose to use Synthetic in my G8GT. Warranty doesn't require it but I like the extra piece of mind. When I go to the dealer, the oil costs $9/quart. Engine holds 8.8 quarts. They charge about $7-10 for the filter and then some labor. Bill ends up being about $110-115. This is why I decided to do my own oil changes going forward.

$39.95 - Oil change, filter, 27 point inspection, tire rotation.
Well, my Chevy Dealer charges $15 labor and I bring in my own oil and filter for my Corvette. On my '09 Malibu they charge $24.95 for 5 quarts Mobil bulk and an AC Delco filter. But fortunately when I bought the car, they threw in free oil changes so they cost me nothing ! I have never had a negative experience with them.
My Ford dealership charges $29.99 for 5qts MC blend and filter. My truck takes 7 qts, they charge around $6 for each additional quart. Total price $46.
I have a card with free oil changes, but won't let them touch my truck. I've seen them bang doors against bay support I-beams and place wrentches on hoods of cars and I have had bad experiences with other people doing my oil changes. I don't trust them, so I do it myself. I do trust the valvoline oil change centers, only because I can see what they are doing.
I concede that one day I will be too old to do it myself or care.

Yea, its against my religion too. But a friend of mine gets his oil changed at a local chevy dealer for $19.99, and this includes an oil and filter change, and a tire rotation. Pretty good deal if you ask me, but i'll change my own oil thanks

It's actually a LOT easier to go throught a 'drive thru' quick-lube here than to go to the dealer. There are a TON of them here - Mr. Lube, Oil Changers, Pennzoil '10-minute', and CT has a couple.
They are never that busy, and you can easily be in and out in under 15-20 minutes total. If you are JUST after an OC, they are the way to go.
They are all pretty close in price - $39.98 - $44.98 is the range. You go to the dealer, you have to book an appointemnt, or wait to have it done - and that can take hours.

My Ford dealer has the same deal. You can barely buy the oil and filter for that price, so when I took the car in to have the PCM flashed to turn on the daytime running lights I had them change the oil.
Little did I know that they'd only put 5 qts in a 6 qt sump (can't you just charge me for the extra quart??).
So, it was under-filled by a quart and the drain plug and filter were both installed to about 200 ft lb when I went to change the oil next time. Needless to say I won't be filling up my punch card...
And people complain about spiffy lube??
