Default How many of you take your own oil for an oil change...

...particularly at a Honda dealer? How do you make sure it actually makes it into your car? I ask because it seems that most dealerships a) use different types of oil and b) use whatever crappy oil is laying around at the time.

They Have Mobil One Where I Take the S 2000 to get serviced.
At a dealership you could never know what you getting, sometimes, what is the easiest for the dealership to put in your S2000 they may think is best.

If you take your own then just hang around and see if they use it.

I bring my own oil, outside to my garage, where the mechanic, while not the most experienced, is sure to do it right and cares for the car the way it should be. He does occaisionally screw things up, but we have an understanding.

I take my own oil, my own oil filter, my own S2000, my own self to my own garage and have my own self do my own oil change. No bumbling dealership service tech (or lotman) will ever touch my car unless it's absolutely required for warranty issues.
