while i think most can learn how to do an oil change, i wouldn't trust and assume just any joe 6 pack to do it. it is not difficult, but it is important to use the proper tools and pay attention to the gaskets and torque specs.

as for the warranty, i do not believe you need proof of professional services, just documentation that it is done. i do my own maintenance and keep receipts, take photos of the work, and a log with the mileage, what was done, and the date. i do this not only to support a warranty claim but when/if i sell it, a prospective buyer likes to see this.

a final comment regarding professional services - in my professional work over many decades, i have seen, worked with, hired, and fired many professionals that claimed to have been doing the work for 10, 20, and 30 years. it turns out that many of them were doing it wrong all those years. "professional or certified" does not always mean the most knowledgeable, competent, and without mistakes.

i am confident i am at least as capable as any certified oil change tech, and i am less likely to rush the job and make a mistake.
