Who changes your oil?

Also change my own oil. I've never thought of having a quickie-lube type place do it.

I did let a Toyota dealership change the oil on my wife's new truck back in 2003. They left the old filter gasket stuck to the engine when they put the new filter on, and on my way home the stacked filter gaskets blew out and the engine starved for oil. They ended up putting in a new engine after they figured out they couldn't B.S. me into driving off the lot with a loud rod knock. So I think I'll stick with changing the oil myself.
