If you decide to DIY then get the oil from Walmart, Mobil 1 is $27 for five quarts, they have the 0-40 or 5-40 weights and more. If I'm not mistaken your car should take 8.2 quarts. I actually jack up one side at the rear support in front of the rear wheel, slide the catch bin under the oil filter and drain plug and remove. I then carefully and slowly lower the car so its as flat as possible without touching the catch basin and let it drain for a while. No ramps involved.
