Got a deal on oil change
I let my local dealer do all my oil changes. Occasionally they send coupons. Got an e-mail offering regular oil change for $19.95, normally $39.95. Took DW’s Expedition in this morning planning to run...

The "you'll blow up your car because they'll screw up your oil change argument is kind of old."
Yes it could and can happen, how many x per 1,000 oil changes I wonder?
I do ALL my own work typically on my own cars because I'm a cheap @ss AND because it literally would take me longer to take it somewhere on a Sat morning and back home than to change oil in the garage.
BUT, in 25 years of taking my company trucks in average every 2 months, plus 100s of other trucks I'e been responsible for, I have had one bad experience that could have caused major failure. Guy left the fill plug out of the rear diff and it sprayed oil all over.
I can think of 2 botched oil changes that I've personally done in the same last 25 years, and both of them were when I was servicing multiple vehicles/equipment at the same time.....so maybe I should take mine in??? LOL
