Time for my first oil change (5k miles) and I am wondering if it is worth it to take it to the dealer (since its a pain in the *** for me to drop the car off at a dealer for the day)what (if any) advantages are there to taking it to the dealer? are they going to do anything special? I brought the car with 1200 miles on it and they took care of some minor stuff then (O2 sensor was rpelaced for throwing a code)

BTW I did a search for this but it was hard to find in the whole change interval arguments and the weight of oil arguments!! I will just go with whatever it says in the manual in those regards...

Thanks,

They change oil, filter, fill fluids, a variety of things. It is worth it.

I *think* you have to do it to maintain your warranty..no?

Ask them what oil they use, bring own oil as necessary:local OTS for my area only pays for 10w blend

all of the other stuff is done by grease monkey (or whoever) as well...

actually, it's a big pain in the *** if you want to use synthetic

I should hope not... imagine if you lived three hours away form a dealer!
