n e v e r get your oil changed at the dealer or at a quick lube place. Never. Stop it. Please.

They don't care about your car, they will round off your drain bolts, and they will charge you up the ass for it and give you trash quality oil and filters (if they even change your filter at all).

I got an "end of warranty" inspection at my Hyundai dealership thinking it'd just be a quick thing where they look it over for anything they could cover under warranty, and they changed my brand new oil and oil / cabin and intake air filters without asking me first, and charged me $400 for the pleasure.

My independent mechanic charges me $110 for an oil and oil filter change using high quality synthetic oil. He tells me what he puts in/on the car, and he shows me on the car if there's anything I need to know.

Also, changing your air filters is dead easy on most cars. Just do it yourself, and check them every 6 months.

p.s.: transmission fluids are not forever fluids. Get your CVT fluids changed every 100,000 km.
