[QUOTE="Roughrider, post: 185343, member: 5230"] So a little more info, I am a retired licensed technician and worked mostly on Volvo an Nissan cars. My whole point to this is that throughout the years I have seen a lot of lube techs and apprentices leave oil pan bolts and filters loose when they were called away from the oil change to perform a job for a service advisor or service manager only to forget tightening the filter or pan bolt completely and the vehicle come back on the hook for a engine job due to no oil in the pan. Also I don't believe that most techs doing the service would treat our vehicles as we would (not using fender covers that could scratch the car). So all that being said I don't care about the added cost of doing it myself as opposed to the car being done properly so I can sleep at night. Please forgive the rambling. [/QUOTE]
