Default A note for all you who take your own oil to your service visits...

My Dad went in Monday and I go in tomorow for our 2nd service and he took his Mobil 1 synthetic and had then use it. He then got a credit for the oil that they didn't use!!! Its not much they say it only costs a couple of bucks for thier oil but every few cents counts right? So when you go in for service give them your oil and ask for a credit for the oil they don't have to use.

Default As long as they give you back the extra (I always ask) to top off with if needed...

then why bother anoying them? You're possibly going to end up using 100% of what you bought anyway. And giving the dealer the idea you're just a penny-pincher instead of an enthusiast may lead to more slip-shod service next time.
