Bringing your special oil to a dealership (or most anywhere else) is a challenge to their territory.
ALL employees at dealerships are spat upon. There's no security. The owner is KING and his immediate management staff are little aspiring Hitlers.
The grunts are frequently just meth-heads paying off their flat screen TV's.
They also "need something to stand for" so they'll bully someone somehow to feel good.
Think about it. If you offer to bring in your own oil, how can a service writer say, "No sir, we don't like doing that". He'll just smile.
You'd think they'd have it so they could use the unused "free oil" for themselves.
We BITOGers are a hands-on, problem solving bunch. Dealing with miserable slaves starts at the bottom of a slimy hole.
Happy climbing!
There is a sick element we can't even fathom. A "Gosh-gee-wilickers, how ever did that happen" response isn't allowed.
Sounds about right to me!
And it's not a free oil change if you're bringing the oil...
