I do them myself. I get a filter off the sticky thread and use 6 quarts of Matul 10/40.

 

[Mittzy]

Me too, every 5000klms and use Motul 300v

 

[jake shaw]

[motolink]

Every one done myself with Motul oil.

 

[SavageRiver]

or do you just do it yourself and save the money?

THis is my dilemma as the dealer told me $400.? for first 500 mile visit, WTH?

Most dealers will let you do your own oil change and just charge you for the rest of the service. My dealer charged $100 each for the first 500 mile and the first annual service. I did the oil changes and documented them on the service worksheets. I continue to do my own oil changes, that way I know they are performed correctly.
