If you are removing the plate, you might as well do the oil change.

I tend to agree. Do the oil yourself, or don't be surprised if the dealer strips your bolts.

This is exactly what you get (and should have expected) from a jiffy lube type place. In fact, it could have been much worse.

Lube “techs” are NOT mechanics.

Aren't you a ray of sunshine.

When it's -30 out I don't feel like crawling under a truck to my own oil change which yes I normally do.
