Do F-150 Platinum owners change their own oil?

Question for F-150 Platinum owners. Do you change your own oil?

I am one that does.

Also a good opportunity to check under the chassis for any problems, dead bodies, etc. :-)

My first oil change was a freebie from the dealer. From then on I've done all my own oil changes.

I havent done one yet. But my history is to let the dealer i bought the truck from to do the oil changes. So my plans right now are to let the local ford dealer change oil for me.

I have had my truck for a year and had two oil changes, but I have been planning to start doing my own.

that is what i was wondering. lol. if it is because of the price tag why wouldnt you ask that about the harley guys or the raptors. and i know there are more expensive platinums than mine. i just choose to pay for an oil change. i dont have time or i would do it myself.
