Oil changes

Hello ppl, I was just wondering if you guys take your 8's back to the dealer for oil changes or use the many oil changing places popping up all over. Thanks

I am going to use the dealer. Part of the deal I struck was free oil changes every 7000 miles for five years. Additionally, I had them cover all tire rotations also. Got it all in writing...

I got the same deal. Free oil changes for as long as I own the car and free tire rotations. So for me its a no brainer. Dealership here I come!

I do it myself. I wouldn't trust a run of the mill oil-change chain to: use the correct oil, fill to the correct amount, use or even have the correct filter, and properly cleanup any spilled oil from the filter. If you want it done right, learn to do it yourself (there's a great "oil change for dummies" thread here which a quick search will uncover) or take it to someone that regularly works on rotaries and understands how to do it right.
