nope, the diff in prices between doing it myself and having it done in a garage was never big enough to bother.

on the ranger i have done 2 changes so far, i just hit 21000kms after the florida trip.

i've been going to walmart for years, they use the same quality oils for regular, but i switched the truck to synthetic, so i save about 35-40$ from the dealership.

No, a dealership cannot force you to do your maintenance there, especially when they overcharge you on shitty no name products.

I'd rather save tons of money and get better quality elsewhere.

So far, dealerships have had a horrible track record, not even checking basic stuff on my truck, while walmart even measured my thread depth!

I guess i am lucky, the guys in WM's garage here are car nuts.
