Cool!
I remember when changing my own oil didn't require 3 EPA forms, a disposal fee for the used oil, a photo ID, and a DNA sample. I may have forgotten some the requirements since I quit changing it myself.
On my last trip to the dealer that I have been going to for several years, they charged me for 7 quarts of oil, the 7th qt. for $3.40. When I mentioned to the kid service writer that I had never been charged for a 7th qt. before, and that the advertised oil capacity is 6 qts. with filter, he stared at me in total silence like a deer in the headlights. I checked the oil level and it was right and clean and clear so I decided that my time was worth more than 3 bucks.
To add insult to injury, however, after getting home, I didn't move the vehicle from the garage for almost two days and when I did, I found that oil had dripped out all over the garage floor and the oil level was a hair low.
I fixed the problem before leaving, but on the trip back to the dealer to have them clean up the mess on a vehicle that had never leaked a drop, I was thinking about when I used to change it myself... the kid gave me a coupon for an extra free car wash for my troubles.
