No, definitely not.

I'm fully capable of changing the oil myself, but do I? No. Why? Check it:

- You have to do the labor yourself (duh)
- You have to dispose of the oil/filter properly
- You have no real record of it

I go to the dealer, where they do all the work and I get a computerized printout showing the mileage and service performed. This is great, should you decide to sell the X down the road... You can show proof of proper maintenance to a potential buyer.

That and well, I'm lazy.
