My dealer charges me $25.00 to change my oil . I buy a jug of Mobil 1 at Walmart for $25.00 .. $50.00 every 7500 miles and I get a car wash and coffee... Am I missing something here??

No need to change this. Just clean well and torque to spec and you'll be fine.

I'll tell you what's wrong. They use cheap dino oil to fill your car.

^^ along with that the car wash isnt anything special either.

Water sprayed on from a pressure washer and a drying towel is about the extent of the complimentary car wash.
