Keith, I know we disagree on this issue, but the dealers here get 47.50 + tax for oil service etc., that's without tuneups which I would guess is another $50, say $100,
If you do 300 miles a month (your figures) with electric going 50 miles on a charge that comes too 6 charges a month or $9.
If you maintain batteries 6 years is likely and more is possible.
You also have to depose of the used oil?
Not convenient, clean up etc, oops the oil spilled all over the driveway 
Not everyone does their own work.
Here's how it's done, how many in TV do theirs --

So I take it you own an electric cart. Good for you. it's personal preference. How long have you had ele? and have you ever had a gas cart?
Before you try and give advice get the facts straight don't put info out there that's as one sided as a used car salesmans data. I know changing ones oil isn't for everyone I happen to like to do it. I've NEVER spilled any either I put an old paint roller pan under the cart you can't miss that.
Disposing of oil, getting gas it's the least I could do I'm retired I have nothing to do most days but recreate.
Carbon foot print? Please my "other" vehicle is a 6,000 pound 450 horsepower diesel.
