I wouldn't go to the dealer unless you want to spend way more money than necessary. Most of the forum members here do their own oil changes and it's not a difficult task. I don't have a garage nor a driveway so I don't have that luxury. I take my car to an indie mechanic who races Porsches. I buy my oil filters in bulk from Suncoast and my mechanic charges me $24 labor plus cost of oil. Same price for Motul synthetic 5W40 or Mobil 1 0W40. I get the Motul. He also checks the car over and I'm out the door in about 30-45 minutes paying about a hundred bucks. It's actually cheaper for me to have him do it and I feel alittle better knowing someone atleast looked the car over on a lift.
