I hesitate to admit this publicly, but here goes:
I have started letting the dealer change my oil. My reasoning is that way it is all on them in case of an internally lubricated engine part failure. Plus, while standing in Autozone or someplace I did some quick and possibly faulty math in my head and figured that it costs me $20 to have the dealer do it.
Reasons:
1. I’m getting old and I deserve a break.
2. The dealer does everything and I don’t have to dispose of my used oil.
3. They do a multi point check that may or may not mean anything if for instance, my brake pads go metal to metal between oil changes.
4. Their clean lounge with a Cafe and Wifi is excellent.
5. I get the opportunity to wander and test my resistance to New Truck Fever.
6. Actually and quite important, is that the service advisors seem to have a clue!
7. Most important: The techs do what they are supposed to do. At least so far. Oil life minder reset, tire pressures adjusted after rotation, my radio is where I left it, truck delivered to the service area exit and backed in to a spot. No drips under the truck from splashed oil.
