I always wonder about these free oil changes. Are you sure they aren't factored into the price somewhere? My dealer wanted to sell me a $79 "maintenance package" that included free oil changes, but I don't remember for how long. I wasn't interested, since I figure I save a ton of time doing it myself. But after reading some of those posts in the monthly payments thread, I think maybe some people are really paying for the "free" oil changes without realizing it.

 

well I'm the lucky one and my parents pay for the car hence the "free oil changes for life".

 

they dont call it the "idiot" light for nothing.

 

I never read the manual, But I was just planing on changing the oil about every 3-4K. I've had the car about 2 months, and I'm on about 3,200m and my oil like sez 51%, But I think I'm gunna change it next weekend anyway. Just to make myslef feel better about it.!

 

When I ordered the car, I negotiated the final price. I then negotiated my trade in value......which was $500 low, so I made the proposal concerning oil changes as a deal breaker.
I think I came out ahead in the end.
