Crawl under the car and bond with your vehicle. I'm 56 years old and still do it and know it's done right.
My car will only see dealer service when it's time for tranny & differential fluid changes or a radiator flush or brake/clutch or power steering fluid changes.
Not much else to do for the first 100K miles.
Spend your money on gas, good booze and women instead.

No matter how u figure it its not the same as getting it done free.

Really the cost of the oil changes themselves is immaterial, within reason. It's not a huge component of the overall cost of the car. The important thing is getting it done right every time. Too many horror stories. Nobody cares about your car more than you do, it's a pretty simple task, and it's arguably the single most important maintenance task for your car's long term health.
