So you brought in your own oil and they STILL charged you a higher rate because you drive a hybrid? Shame on that dealer!

Before the HCH, it had been years since I've changed my own oil, but it just seems logical on this car where I want to control as many of the factors that I possibly can. I did my last (second) oil change and it wasn't bad at all. There is a great FAQ that someone linked to in a post I started about oil changes that walks you through the whole process step by step if you're interested. If not, I would seek out another dealer at least.
