Default Getting an oil change

Ugh..I wanted to be lazy today..but I need to go get an oil change. I was gonna go to Econo Lube or one of those type places..but then I figured why don't I just go to the Acura dealership. h: I pay the same price going to the Acura dealership as I would Econo Lube because they charge extra for synthetic oil etc. h:
I know some of you are gonna say "do it yourself" But I'm lazy...HOWEVER i DO know how to change my oil But anyways...do you guys take your cars to the dealership for oil changes?

Nope, do it myself. My dad does though cause he has a hard time crawling under the car anymore.

I used to since they were included in the price of the car. But not anymore so I bought a topsider oil sucker so I never have to get under the car

of course my oil filter in on top of the engine unlike 90% of the other engines

I always take my car to Valvoline. Too lazy to do it myself and too big of a pain to get under my car
