Being at college, I really don't feel like sitting in a parking lot changing my oil. So, for the time being, it go'* to a quickee shop unfortunately. I'm not home near enough to do it there, and I drive a LOT.
Once I finally have a place of my own, it'* all my job.

You couldn't pay me to have someone else change my oil..... Some things you just can't leave to the "quick lube" boys.... That is engine oil. I would never and could never trust someone other than myself with something as vital as that...

I go to Super Lube and use Quaker State Synthetic. Have been going to that place all the time for all my cars and have never had a problem yet

I head to the dealership for my oil changes, being in a condo, I'm not permitted to do fluid changes.
And, they know my car and I have complete trust in them after all these years.
