They do alot of selling you things you don't need. Some dealer techs are pros…… many are whackos. 🤣

I've seen hidden camera shows where the workers say they will never really use synthetic oil. There are different labels but the all are pumped from the same cheap oil container. One time they didn't put the washer back on so the next day I woke up to a couple quarts of oil on my new driveway. On my wife's car they forgot go put the oil cap back on the engine and oil spewed all over the hood and engine. So needless to say I always do it myself now.

It's not as hard as you think to get rid of the oil, most dumps and transfer stations will take them free of charge and use to burn with when it starts getting cold, so it's usually free, as for the oil filter most auto shops and walmarts will take them off your hands free of charge. The only thing you must concern yourself with is the correct kind of oil and correct filter, newer cars can't take just any old 5W20, and filter, most places say you should run the brand that's used by the maker, ford would be Motorcraft, Chevy is ACDelco, from what I read mitsubishi runs Mobil 1 not sure how true that is but you get the picture. Sure go to the store pay 40 dollars or so get it cheaper but it's not the best for your engine as the different companies test everything with their own brands and not something like quaker state which means everything in your engine and transmission will be set for that and not any off the self brand. Speaking of off shelf brands do not ever get these as the quality is garbage and are chalk full of harmful fillers that end up doing more damage to your engine in the long run.

I work as a mechanic, I don't do anything different or special changing the oil, I do it the same as when I wasn't a mechanic and I did it in my car, the only problem is where you dispose the used oil, There are usually places to take it, even in the workshop where I work, we don't even throw it away, we keep it in empty oil drums xD

This is a good ad for dealerships, you must be an undercover sales rep

You're better off saving the money and doing it yourself and the inspection yourself if you're actually a good mechanic it's will save you a lot of money and the resell value of your vehicle will not depreciate that much with no paperwork on oil changes you'll actually be wasting money by paying the dealership and there's a little piece of paper
