CT, Walmart or better yet, Costco would likely be significantly cheaper than OEM.

Costco, you would have to change it yourself.

Apart from GM (who uses Delco batts) most OE or OE-replacements sold at stealerships are not great batteries. And regardless, the stealer is never a good place to buy a battery anyway, due to jacked up prices.

If you buy a higher-end battery at any of the places mentioned you should be good for at least 5 years, so I wouldn't be too worried about your approx. 3 year requirement. There's quite a few threads on batteries here, if you want to do a search to find out more.
