I just did my first oil change last night. It was very easy. Just remove 16 bolts and 3 fasteners, drop the splash pan and it's so easy that I didn't spill one drop.

Maybe he means the gasket from the oil filter itself? I dont know how this could have been screwed up. Even if you dont replace the crush washer it
shouldnt leak if the bolt is torqued to spec (28-30 ft lbs IIRC). Thats some pretty gross negligence IMO. Is it just me or is service getting worse? Back when I had my 350's I never had this problem when I took it in for service at different dealers in different states.
