That's why I tell dealers up front they will never get to change the oil on my vehicle, and that I will follow manual directions, and that changing my own oil doesn't void my warranty. If they're not interested, I can buy elsewhere.
Incidentally, I get regular email reminders from the Infiniti dealer to come in and change my oil, even though they've never been given the opportunity to do so even once.
