We changed our own oil this past time as a sort of experiment and because there was a sale at Pepboys on 5 qts of oil and an oil filter. I don't intend on changing it everytime. Sometimes it is worth paying a little extra just for the peace of mind. We just bought our own brakes a few months ago which were probably $50 (I can't remember). And we are installing them ourselves as soon as the current brakes wear out. Not only am I an avid DIY-er I love to be frugal. Nice title.
