I think that's fair. I can easily see both sides of this discussion and the pros and cons for each opinion. I share a little of both. I plan on doing my own oil changes in between the "Ultimate Service" scheduled ones because I want my car to last for over 200K. 15K is just too long for my liking. I plan to track my car too so fresh oil will coincide with those outings. I don't baby cars and if the widgets in the computer are telling me I'm due for an oil change at rather short intervals because I push my car hard and the brakes are looking a little tired then I'm happy. I hope the SA and techs like the smell of hot brakes. I'm not trading the car in so it's my abuse it will be taking and only mine. Until one of my sons inherits it someday.
Prost!
