    Maybe do it yourself? It’s the easiest car maintenance you can do next to maybe filling your blinker fluid or checking your mirror pressure.

      Not everyone has a suitable spot to do vehicle maintenance. Not exactly easy if you have angled driveways, or park on the street, etc.

        And for warranty purposes, you want receipts and a “fall guy” if anything goes wrong.

        You can document your own work and keep your oil / oil filter / crush ring receipts, but some dealerships will fight you on it.

      Fyi for anyone afraid to change their own oil for fear of dumping it all on the driveway, just look up a (Canadian manufactured) “oil transfer pump” (manual or electric) and ensure the tube it comes with will fit and reach down to the bottom of your oil tank through the dipstick. Then pump it out into a container. Afterwards you can take the bolt out and get anything that may be left, in my experience a drop or two. Also saves me from having to jack up my car to fit the tub under, I can use a shallower pan.

        Nice one.

        I have a ball-cock stopper in my drain plug with a tube that I put into my oil catch pan for one vehicle. The other vehicle, I don’t like how far it sticks out and I’m worried it will catch on the road if I bottom out or go over a large bump. (It’s a vintage Porsche 914).
