If it were me, I would claim an under car inspection of the cooling system with a drip pan "just in case". Then, a top off of oil after your inspection.
If someone is looking at me while I'm in my garage with the door closed, I would tell them they are trespassing and give them one chance to leave my property before I had them arrested.

You are the one who implied that because we bought a home governed by an HOA property values will drop. I just responded with the opposite of that. Not only that, but the ones recently placed on the mkt have sold at above mkt value and asking price. Like i said, must be a location thing because your "Then why did you buy in a HOA?" comment holds no bearing on our situation. It may elsewhere...i don't know.
No you are the one that implied when you said "i value my home value more than an oil change." Do you even know what the word implied means?
And you did not respond with the opposite of that, again do you know what the words you are typing mean?
If HOAs are so great, then why are they not advertised on home listings like those that are not in a HOA? I'm not talking about anecdotal cases like you but the entire market. Go to realtor.com and see what's on top of listings , its not "this house is in a HOA!!!".
Who said HOAs are great? You really should stop putting words in people's mouths. I like my HOA, period, and the value of my home has gone up significantly since purchase. I am completely aware my case isn't universal but this thread is about my situation, not HOA in general. I made it pretty simple now. Did you understand?

I believe I commented on this elsewhere in the thread but I actually confirmed with VIOC today. They charge $30. I might consider that route or taking my own oil and filter to the dealer where they charge $10. The dealership is just much further away and take at least an hour to change.

But you get to find some poor salesman and try and test drive everything possible in that hour.
That's what I do with my old car. 3 hour recall work? No problem, find the salesman with the sweaty pits, 5 o'clock shadow, and test drive whatever. Once you get the alert your cars ready, say thanks! And drive off.

Pulled something like this at a Ford dealer many years ago...walked their lot one night just looking around and a very friendly salesman gave us his card and told us to come back anytime after we told him we weren't ready for test drives yet.
Came back with his card a few weeks later and were told he was busy at the moment and to just sit at his desk until he came back...he rushed back to his desk a few minutes later and didn't even notice us at first, then jumped in shock when he finally saw us sitting there.
"Where did you come from?!!?!?"
We handed his card over and explained when he had given it to us...he looked at it like it was a relic from a Martian civilization.
"No, seriously, where did you get this card?!?!? I didn't give you this card!"
My wife and I glanced at each other in utter confusion and told him HE had handed it to us in their lot!
He looked at us for a while as if we might pull out 9mms and shoot him at any moment, then reluctantly agreed to let us do some test drives after he finished what he was in the middle of doing.
My wife and I couldn't fathom why the salesman would act like this, but we decided to waste as much of his time as possible in retaliation.
I know we drove a Taurus, an F150, and some kind of small van...we may have tried a few others, can't remember.
At one point, the guy seemed pretty exasperated with us and remarked that the vehicles we were trying out seemed to have little to do with each other...we just smiled and said we had different ideas about what to get and were trying to resolve things.
I'm pretty sure this was before I bought my Outback, none of the Fords really floated my boat...but, we had fun messing with that dude!

My gf's dad has a small old school mom and pop gas station do his oil changes for him. He always brings in his own oil and filter, and they charge him $15. I'd try to find a place like that vs a chain shop. But I'm sure places like that are very rare now.

Another great idea. We have a neighborhood Mobil Station with a garage that has an excellent reputation. May try there.

I have to believe they'll make that a hassle if you went that route. Honestly, it's hardly worth their time (no offense to you) to mess with this for $10.

I lived next to a small mechanic shop at a gas station, they were the best. Bring your oil and filter, in&out in 15 mins and charge $20
Another option (and that's what I do now) - try searching for a self-service garage in your area. The one I go to charges $15 for 30 mins on a lift and that includes used oil&filter disposal https://stewsgarage.com/

Back when my wife and I lived in an apartment. The complex was against oil changes. Although I did it they never said anything. We live in a house now with a hoa. No rules against maintenance.

UPDATE:
After a couple plus days of not checking the mail due to Hurricane Dorian preparations, I did so this afternoon. In it was an amended bylaws notice. Included was the following...
"...emergency battery and tire changes are permitted in your driveway along with neat oil changes..."
How about them apples.

What does neat mean? Am I not supposed to drain it all over ground and bathe in the oil on the way down? I thought that's why we change our own...

Neat oil changes mean, if someone walks ups and you're using high end oil and filter, they say,"Man that's a neat oil change!". It's like if someone says,"That's a swell oil change!" or "That's a rad oil change!".
Man that's neat! Neato! Awesome! Right on!
