Oil changes dont require a lot of tools. Most cars you'd get away with just a socket, a drain pan and a filter wrench. I'd be suprised if it took two oil changes to pay back what you spent on tools through the savings of doing it yourself.
If you can afford to drop a hundred bucks on a decent socket and spanner set, then there's even more savings to be had from doing your own brakes and basic part replacements
