My independent mechanic (me) charged about 3 beers.

Got the Mobil 1 from Meijers on sale, $20 a gallon and the filter from the Zone ($14).
Drained the oil and filter using two oil pans, took the old oil to the Zone, they found the filter while I dumped the old oil.

Total time was about 1 hour. Total cost was about $60, less tax.... and beer.

I'm not a fanatic, the car has 9 quarts of oil, drain it until it drips, then put the plug back in. Watch the oil level as you refill... I used both the dip stick and the dash gage. I put in the two gallons, then started to watch the level.
