I'd rather do it myself than let some rookie lube guy at the dealer touch my car... You'd save money and have piece of mind in knowing that it was done right.
I haven't changed mine yet, but a reason or two or three why folks take it to the dealer could be...
1. It's easier than doing it yourself. You have to pull a panel off the bottom of the car to access the oil pan = hassle.
2. The tires are too wide to drive up a standard do-it-yourself ramp = hassle
and
3. Most of the people who buy the Xfire are on the older side of life and don't work on their cars like they did when they were younger = just getting too old to fuss with it, let someone else do it.
Just my reasoning........ :wink: :wink: :wink:
