Where do you normally change your oil?

While I have an attached garage, I have a detached metal building I use to work on my cars.
In the garage.
In the garage for cars, in the driveway for most of our trucks.
Mostly in the driveway where I had my driveway made wider for car work. Plus the lighting outside is better.
Garage or the driveway, depending on the weather.
Driveway
Garage if the filter is underneath, driveway if I can do it all topside.

+1 (and I hate it when the driveway is snow or ice).

Garage.
My 530i - in the garage. It doesn't require crawling under the car.
Charger and Q5 get their oil changes at the dealer, for now.

Usually driveway for oil changes.
If my vehicles are in my garage, it's time for something more serious than an oil change.

I have no garage at my place so I typically do my changes in my driveway. If the snow is too bad I go up to my dad's monster garage and do it there instead. (Truck height / length)
As I have a Fumoto on the vehicle and the filter is at the top it's quite easy to do a change even with snow on the ground.

More room, better light, and don't worry about spilling anything on the floor of the garage (although I have a huge piece of cardboard I put under vehicles, so that really is not an issue).

Driveway. Our garage is full of woodworking tools, Stihl OPE, Misc stuff, etc. Plus we have two full-size Toyotas that don't really fit into a typical garage.
In the shop at work, on a lift. It's a great perk, but if I retire I'll lose that, so I can never retire
