Well I changed my own oil at 1500 miles. It was very easy, the hardest/time consuming part was removing those 16 bolts holding that bottom engine cover in place. I bought some Rhino ramps and the front cleared easily, switched to Mobil 1 and used a FRAM Tough Guard Filter. The only thing I forgot was the crush washer on the drain plug, by the time I realized I needed one I was all ready to go so I just decided to reuse the old one. No leaks, I'll replace it next time.
