Men, it's time that you stopped going to the quick oil place. The Art of Manliness has a great article on changing your own oil. It's not a matter of "thinking with your dipstick", but a way to be initiated into the realm of maintaining your own car. You might just break even, but you get to have the pride of a job well done. Who knows how many corners a quick-lube place will cut? Plus, it's an excellent time to go over your major fluids and mechanicals to make sure your car is in tip-top shape.
For those who care about performance, changing your own oil is a must. Many "synthetics" these days are simply highly-refined crude oils. Grassroots Motorsports found they had a few hp bump in changing over to Red Line lubricants over OEM-type lubricants.
