Getting ready for first oil change, got 3500 mi on it. I'm a car guy with hot rods and Corvettes and usually change my own oil.

Looking at a factory service manual on-line, it looks like you almost have to take the right front wheel off and the plastic inner fender out just to get to the filter?

If thats the case I may forego bothering with that operation. At the same time I can't see a drive in lub place doing the job either with that kind of effort needed. So. . . is taking it to a dealer the only real option for an oil change (and their $60 fee). Or is the do it yourself job a little easier than it looks

And I do the oil changes on my M35X with the twelve or so bolts removing the plastic under pan ( which is a PITA) so its not like I won't do a little work to get to the oil filter

i've changed the oil and filter on my jx. i was able to pull the inner splash shield out of the way and reach the filter no problem. it is held on with a few push pins but near front there are none so it can be moved about six inches providing enough room to r&r filter

Thanks for the feedback
