Make sure thats what it is...
If you have the tools and time on your hands you can do it yourself.
I would definitely consider having a shop do that due to yanking the top of the engine apart. How many miles is on the engine?
Any time you got to mess with oil it gets really messy, if there is a local shop that will do it for a good price go for it.
