Hopefully your dealer knows how to change oil but no guarantees.I went in to the dealer's shop with my first free oil change and was satisfied with the tech. I still take my Vette there but supply my own Mobil 1 oil. They supply the filter, check levels, tire pressure, multi-point inspection and top up windshield washer... Total cost less than $35.00...As long as I'm happy with their service, no way I will do it myself at that price. JMO

Better check price with your dealer in Ontario before you quote me. I know mine likes me... lol....

Plus you get to paint your ceiling...
done right
My dealership has done a great job looking after 3 corvettes and ensuring I'm getting every perk available. Using a statement like you did deserves a fun poke, don't you think?

with an attempt to interpret and answer the thread statement ...
Bring your own Oil to a dealer that is willing is definitely worth it.
As my 2 dry sump C7's (9.4 litres or so each) is about $575+ at the Dealership total for both ...
So it's definitively pretty much about saving money ... by doing it all yourself.
$75 oil on sale + filter + $50 labour saves maybe about $100 per dry-sump car where I go ...
a drawback on changing your own oil is finding a responsible method for disposal.
I don't think I would worry about it though if I had the non-dry sump changes.

I dish it out, I better be able to take it....
But out here an hour from YYC, running to the dealer for basics is a pain in the butt. 3 to 4 hours for an oil change when I can change in 20 minutes. Of course that doesnt take into account an oil volcano every once in a while.
Yes for sure Al. That makes sense considering you have that awesome lift. All in fun.
