For all my 60 years of owning and driving many vehicles I have always done my oil/filter changes with very few exceptions. Then last summer DW 2004 Buick Rainier 5.3 V8 was totaled by a red light runner. We bought a Ford Edge ST with the 2.7L twin turbo V6. I have to take Ford word on the face that there are twin turbos under the hook as just about every square inch is something under the hood. I could not even find a route out of the bottom of the engine bay to run out the power cord for the battery maintainer when we stored it for the winter up North. I had the dealer do an oil/filter change before we left with points we got when we purchased it, and will most likely continue doing that. It is not that I am not capable, as I changed the oil in the two year old Can Am Spyder we purcahsed 7 weeks ago, which involve removing a lot of tupperware body panels. It is just the Ford Edge seems to have a big virtual circle with a diagonal red line on it on top of the engine similar to the Power Stroke and Duramax.
I have a little over 200k miles on my 6.7 Power Stroke and never had to do any engine repairs, but I do have to change the oil on it and I actually enjoy it and I know which one I would prefer to perform an oil change on and doesn't require any special tools to prevent a big mess
