Your indy should have absolutely no issue changing your oil and filter. My only question is weather its too cheap! Verify the oil he's going to use (need synthetic) and that he's aware the car takes about 9 quarts.

I do my own changes and the best I can do is about $60 for the 8 quarts (I use Castrol Edge) and the filter and new crush washer runs me ~ $10.

Our local indy is at about $110.
