yes, because some of those idiots like to put the impact wrench to the lugs and let 'er rip ... and they don't tighten them down correctly, which can lead to warped rotors etc. plus finding out they tightened your lugs to 500ft/lb when you are on the side of the road trying to swap a spare isn't the best time to discover the problem I agree some stuff you take the mechanics word, ie; the head bolts example above - but i take responsibility for the vehicle i depend on ... if a tire falls off at 80mph who suffers? if the engine is damaged or craps out early due to low oil who suffers? yeah you might be able to go back and spend a few years paying an attorney to go after the dealer, but i'd rather spend a few seconds and make sure my truck is safe and dependable. (years ago i had a company car that was serviced by our garage ... heard a rattling one day in the front/pax side ... popped the hubcap, and 3 of 5 lugnuts were totally off just rolling around inside. Lesson learned - i'd hate for a front tire to fall off at interstate speeds)

Boost :)
Nothing against anyone here who doesn't have the time or ability to change the oil in their vehicles. I travel almost 50% of the time and work 12+ hour days for at least 75% of the year so I know about not having enough time.
But I have to ask.....What do you do while you are pumping gas? Do you not have time then to check your oil? That has been my habit for the past 17 years since I started driving. Every time you fill up...check the oil, check air pressure in tires, and clean windshield if there is enough time. If you pump gas, you have time to check those things, in my humble opinion anyway.

How on earth did this thread end up with everyone trying to denigrate OP for not changing his own oil.. ?
Does everything have to be a big dick contest ?
The dealership messed up, accept it.
He has every right to be upset about it.
All you 'shoulda changed your own oil' guys are offering nothing constructive, only trying to come off as superior.
Some of you guys are way too fast to pat yourselves on the back - guess it mostly comes with the territory of a bunch of 'truck guys'

I was always told to check the oil with the engine cold before you drive it, which is how I check mine, so should I be checking the oil with the engine warm?
Other then my snowmobile I always check engine oil with a cold engine!!!!!
