question-->who pays for their oil changes

I do them myself. I get a filter off the sticky thread and use 6 quarts of Matul 10/40.
 
ok this is for you motul snobs-i see they are both 10w-40 but 7100 or 300v which one?
 
THis is my dilemma as the dealer told me $400.? for first 500 mile visit, WTH?
Most dealers will let you do your own oil change and just charge you for the rest of the service. My dealer charged $100 each for the first 500 mile and the first annual service. I did the oil changes and documented them on the service worksheets. I continue to do my own oil changes, that way I know they are performed correctly.
 
Thanks leatal, this helps me alot. I will go in and talk to the dealerr today. Thanks again leatal!
