Jiffy Lube isn't bad, they usually have an early bird deal for $20 in my area. Anytime I have ANYONE else change my oil though I always double check the cap and plug and check the oil level a couple of times to make sure it's all there and full. I never let them sell me anything else.
We are part of a Chevy, Toyota (2), Acura, Hyundai, Nissan, Mazda, Susuki group. For all new vehicles sold at any of these stores oil and filters and state ( VA ) inspections are free for life no questions asked.
The very real problem is getting an appointment since everybody uses the free service.
When I took my V6 into the dealer for an oil change, they initially said it was synthetic, then back off that statement saying only the I-4 comes from the factory with synthetic.

LunarMist... just to let you know... I don't trust either Jiffy Lubes on Rockville Pike. TWO... not one... but TWO of my friends went in for an oil change and they ended up breaking something. They tried to blame it on my friends... but that didn't work. My friends threatened a law suit and they ended up having to buy parts across the street from Advance Autos and fixed whatever they broke at their shop. The cashier lady was shaking her head and said that this wasn't the first time this had happened. Since then, I never go to a Jiffy Lube. So... beware if you go to Jiffy. If they don't know what they're doing... they'll play around and try to figure out what they need to do until something breaks!!!! Better just change it on your own. Good luck!

Thanks man. I am nowhere near Rockville though. I am in P.G. County. I went to a Jiffy Lube near the University of Maryland one time with my 02 Camry. They did a pretty good job but they are crooks because they tried to sell me a whole bunch of other shit. I did get them to replace my a/c filter though cuz it was filthy. But yes, I will try something like merchants.

In your neck of the woods, try Lube Center. The chain is owned by a friend of a friend. I can't vouch for particular employees at specific locations, but he is a stand up guy (mechanic) and I know his intentions and management are for honesty and integrity coupled with quality work.
