I do all my oil changes myself, No one loves your baby like you do....
The cost was about $35 in all.... Yea I'm old I used to be able to do it for less than $10 with Mobil1

Parts are getting absolutely ridiculous! I just bought a fuel shut-off solenoid for one of the Cummins on my boat (clip broke-not serviced separately!) and it was $350! 12 bucks for an oil filter sounds crazy too, but after spending almost 30 years working for GM, I've seen waaay too many failures caused by aftermarket parts, so I'm very particular about what goes on my cars. (and boats) I've found that saving a few bucks on a part sometimes just isn't worth it, so I'm the guy that will spend the extra money...and gripe about the cost!
I feel the very same way about cheap aftermarket parts, and most are cheap...
