Go buy a 5 quart jug of Mobile1 10w-30, and your choice of oil filter. $35 at the most.

Go to Walmart and buy Mobil 1 10w-30 in the gallon and grab a pureone filter. Jack up the Pass side front and change your oil in 5 mins, and save lots of money. Dealer is ripping you off.

I would get the oil filter from the dealer, it's about 5 bucks. Usually you can bargain with them especially if you buy a few

A hundred bucks for a oil change . Definitely do it yourself and use a stock Mitsu oil filter, they're pretty good. Just save your receipts for warranty purposes.

Like everyone else said DYI for like 35 bucks. No way you should ever go to dealer for ANYTHING other than to buy your car.
