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 - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
