I got my first oil change done at an independent Porsche mechanic for 200 bucks. Last month, I did my first oil change ever, and it cost about 80 bucks including all the tools necessary.

Easy to do yourself with quality lubricants. Order the LN magnetic drain plug; more robust than the factory unit and magnetic to capture any metal floating in your oil (and tip you off to a possible issue). I also have the billet adapter, so I can use a quality spin on filter canister instead of the cheap paper OEM thing. Oil changes under a $100, so do it often (at least every 5000 miles)...saves a lot of problems in the long run.
