37 Indiana chief, In 2005 I bought a new Buick. In 2007 I bought a new GMC. Both came with a 5 year/100000 mile. So I decided to take them to the dealer to be serviced. Glad I did. Every 3k I had them replace valve cover gaskets, head gaskets, oil pan gasket, timing cover gasket. Then after warranty, they finally replaced the oil pan and timing cover free because it was an existing problem from day one.
My dealer gave me a card. Pay for 3 oil changes and get the 4th free. Oil changes where about $25, so I paid $75 for 4 oil changes. I can't see saving much by doing my own oil changes, not to mention it took them 5 years+ to stop all the oil leaks on my GMC truck. Now they raised the price to $30 and pay for 4 oil changes get 5th free. So 5 oil changes for 120. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. My dealer prices on oil changes are as good or better than most fly by night places.
Next to my dealer is the tire barn, where I get my tires. So every other oil change, tire barn rotates and balances my tires for free. I had to pay $10 extra when I bought the tires, but well worth it.
Call me lazy, I will never change the oil on my car or truck again.
I have enough tractors and mowers to remind me how much fun it is to change oil. Don't need a lift for them.
I did take my Kawasaki mule in for the first inspection/oil change when it was under warranty. Boy did the dealer put it to me. I think it was around $170 for engine, front and rear axle oil change. After that I do my own. I have to jack up both ends and put it on jack stands. Takes some time but not a $170 worth of time.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
