I have seen some of the oil filter housing caps tight, to the point it needs 1/2" drive long ratchet to break it loose. There is no reason you couldn't change the oil yourself, it takes 6 quarts 5w-30 synthetic, and a 24mm socket for the filter access. You may have to have someone break it loose for you, if you don't have the provision.
