Every couple of months Advance Auto has a coupon for 5 quarts of full synthetic Mobil one and a filter for like 22 bucks. For a dollar more you can upgrade to the premium filter. They're half a mile from my house, but I'm sure all the auto part stores run similar ads, I'm just using them as an example.
I always change my own oil, and I always wait to see that coupon in their ad, then I go ahead and buy it ahead of time, and upgrade the filter. I do it for my wife's Explorer, too, and just buy the extra quart it takes for hers. I also recycle my old oil every time I go to buy the new oil.
I don't trust anybody to change my oil, because nobody is going to take care of your car like you would, and I have heard too many horror stories over the years. You also can't get it changed as cheaply as you can change your own, and even if you could, I wouldn't trust a place that would charge me less than what I can buy the oil for.
