I usually change it in my driveway and dump the used oil out in the sewer

Pesto, why don't you change it in the driveway and take the used stuff to nearly any garage for disposal like everybody else does.

Id hate to spill that used oil in my interior...its much easier to just walk to the corner with the oil in the oil tray and just pour it down...

I used to go to Wallmart when I drove my Tempo, but not anymore. Now I go to my dealer. It costs me 30$.

Nerver, and I do want to stress on NEVER, never bring your car to CrappyTire, because they have crappy service. I've heard to many horror story concerning Crappytire

pesto, you're an idiot....they do not encourage that kind of behaviour in Canada and never will...this is exactly why you can take your used oil to places and they will take it without a service charge is because they don't want people contaminating the water supply

as for the original question, i go to the dealer, it's nearly the same price as everywhere else and then they know that i have regular service in case i have warranty issues...plus i heard that a bunch of non-mitsu oil filters tend to leak, it was on this site somewhere.

i do it at the dealership, in case it does anything to my warranty. price is about the same anyway. you could do it at mr. lube or midas, as long as you keep the paperwork showing regular maintenance.

after your warranty, i'd just learn to do it yourself, save some money. that's what i did on the old civic.
