Bring my own oil or just let the dealership do it?

How do you know no issues exist?
Were you there to witness the oil change?
Are you sure they never took a rag to your old oil filter and made it look new again?
Are you sure the stated oil on the receipt is really what they used?
Are you sure they never reinserted the oil pan bolt, prior to all the old, used oil being drained?
Are you sure you received the correct weight / viscosity?

I can do three oil changes in the amount of time wasted driving to and back from dealerships - plus the amount of time hanging around, waiting for the service to be completed.

Guys on here hate good dealer experiences......Yea-"several media reports" of things going south at dealerships.( Compared to 100's of vehicles they service on a weekly basis) And there are stories on BITOG about the shade tree mechanics on here stripping out drain plugs and transmission pans....your point is?

Haha !! Took a few days longer than usual but there they are....
 
This forum is funny because the majority of posters here have messed up maintance at a higher percentage then your average "minimum wage" dealership "parts jockey".
 
Daughter takes her Kia Soul that she's leasing in for oil changes and they use Mobil 5w20 synthetic blend.
