I'm sure if the truck will fit in their garage they will change it for ya.

However, There is no way in hell I let anybody other than myself change the oil in my truck.

The only reason I would ever stop into a quick lube and pay 18 dollars or whatever is, is to see if they would let me use their hoist so I can change it myself. And we all know where that's gonna get me.

Don't use those quick-lube places. They're (in)famous for overfilling crankcases and only changing the filter if it's in a convenient location and not stuck. I think they automatically dump 5 quarts in for cars, and like 10 for trucks. I used one of those places once when I said I change the oil in my mother's Acura and really didn't have time. They overfilled the motor by at least a quart and did not change the filter, despite the "package" I paid $22 for clearly stating a filter change was included, as well as a fluid top-off.

I used to use the quick lube joints - they never screwed up my vehicle, but I watched them like a hawk.
