Have you noticed you are frequently visiting the dealership for unnecessary service? They keep offering maintenance schedules for a million things and the vehicle is new. Not only this, but even if you decline and just want your oil changed, they will use some generic oil that will last for 3-4 months which means you will be back soon. Plus who wants constant visits and long waits 3-4 times a year when you can just get a much better oil that will last up to a year. Our signature series oil is made to last. Get the filter that is displayed for your vehicle and you are all set. You can take this oil to a local auto service shop and they will change it for you. This gives you freedom of choice. Next time if you decide to continue to go to the dealer, ask "what oil are you using in my vehicle and how long should it last?" and also ask "may I bring my own oil?" Most times they will say no.
