For most of the cars I've owned, the oil got changed in the garage/driveway. When I had the Z, it was more effort than I cared to expend to raise the car, unbolt the lower cover, &c, so I took it to a dealer.

Be aware that at a lot of dealerships the guy doing oil changes is the same guy that washes cars - minimum wage and probably not all that motivated to do a good job. When possible, I will seek out the guy who will be changing my oil and chat with him a bit in hopes that he will be doing the job for that-guy-with-the-nice-car instead of just-another-faceless-customer.

I've had bad luck with oil change shops and avoid them now. But you may have better luck in your area.

I order my own oil and filter off Amazon then spend $20 to have one of those lube shops do it... Of course I'm watching them the whole time. Usually they like talking to me about cars.

Mitsubishi dealership.

Is it legal that they put the same guy to do an oil change and a car wash ??
