Another quickjacks user here. I trust my oil changing abilities far more than I trust the dealer. Plus, the nearest dealer is more than 2 hours away. I have a stack of $1299 annual dealer oil change and "inspection" receipts from my car's previous owner. No way I would even consider paying that rip-off amount. My quickjacks cost less than that!

I'd be curious where you're getting 15L of 10w60 Liqui-Moly oil for $110. All the places I checked it's basically $10/liter. Castrol supercar or Motul go for around the same or a little more. Ditto for a $27 filter. Best price I see on ebay is $48 shipped. Redpants sells the package with the filter and plugs for $70 (4.7 motor) before shipping.

I have done my own oil changes using a Bendpak scissor lift. Very simple to do. On occasion, I use a local garage where I bring them the AM filter, new sump plugs and Motul oil I get from Rich at Redapants. They just charge me for 1 hour labor. The one time I had it changed at an AM dealer, the tech screwed the oil filter on too tight. (rookie mistake). The following year, I had a heck of a time getting it off.
