I also have to consider the extra $75 I'll spend in gas getting to and from the dealer. Did I read that the oil change kit is only available at a dealer?
In essence, my question is what would you do about oil changes if you were in my position?

This oil change isn't too bad, just a lot of tricks. In this thread there is a link to a great DIY set of pictures. After you look at that and read my posts along with others contributions, it'll maybe take you 30 minutes. Second time you do it yourself, 20 minutes. Now you know what to look for.... Regards
BY THE WAY.... I got the filter kit from Walmart (Fram), the kit had the white plastic tool in addition to the filter and two gaskets.
